Introduction
Sustainable Computing and Communications refers to principles that
embrace
a range of policies, procedures, programs, and attitudes that run
the
length and breadth of any use of information and communication
technologies. It is a holistic approach that stretches from power
to waste
to purchasing to education and is a life-cycle management approach
to the
deployment of IT across an organization. It includes designing,
manufacturing, using, and disposing of information and
communication
systems with minimal or no impact on the environment.
SustainCom (Sustainable Computing and Communications) was created
to
provide a prime international forum for researchers, industry
practitioners
and domain experts to exchange the latest fundamental advances in
the state
of the art and practice of Sustainable Computing andCommunications
as well
as innovative applications.

Submission Guidelines
Submissions must include an abstract, keywords, the e-mail address
of the
corresponding author and should not exceed 8 pages for main
conference,
including tables and figures in IEEE CS format. The template files
for
LATEX or WORD can be downloaded here. All paper submissions must
represent
original and unpublished work. Each submission will be peer
reviewed by at
least three program committee members. Submission of a paper
should be
regarded as an undertaking that, should the paper be accepted, at
least one
of the authors will register for the conference and present the
work.
Submit your paper(s) in PDF file at the submission site:
http://www.swinflow.org/confs/2018/sustaincom/submission.htm.
Publications
Accepted and presented papers will be included into the IEEE
Conference Proceedings published by IEEE CS Press. Authors of
accepted
papers, or at least one of them, are requested to register and
present
their work at the conference, otherwise their papers may be
removed from
the digital libraries of IEEE CS and EI after the conference.
Distinguished papers will be selected for special issues in
Information
Sciences, Future Generation Computer Systems, Journal of Parallel
and
Distributed Computing, Concurrency and Computation: Practice and
Experience.
