CFP:ICT-GLOW - Toulouse, France, 29 August - 2 September, 2011 [Deadline: 18 March 2011]

==========================================================
               Call for Papers
==========================================================
        First International Conference on 
ICT as Key Technology for the Fight against Global Warming
                (ICT-GLOW11)

In conjunction with DEXA 2011 (www.dexa.org)
                Toulouse, France
        August 29 - September 2, 2011
==========================================================

Reduction of CO2-emissions is a topic of outmost importance for the
society. The ICT sector is a relevant contributor to CO2 emissions and
global warming due to its tremendous presence in our everyday life but
more importantly it is a key technology for the fight against Global
Warming in all other sectors. 

Therefore the issues to be addressed in this conference are twofold:
On the one hand, issues on the potential of ICT as enabler for the
reduction of  CO2-emissions pertinent to industry, regions,
organizations and the society  will be considered.
On the other hand, issues on the urgent need of hardware and software
systems which are designed and operated in an energy-aware way and which
steadily monitor and optimize their energy consumption will build
another focus of the conference.

The First International Conference on ICT as Key Technology for the
Fight against Global Warming  (ICT-GLOW11) aims at providing  an
interdisciplinary scientific forum for in-depth- discussions on the
reduction of the carbon footprint in the different sectors including ICT
systems itself. 

Emphasis within the ICT-sector is laid on holistic and far-reaching
approaches for green and eco-friendly ICT-systems. 

The conference aims to bring together researchers and practitioners from
multiple disciplines ranging from green maturity models in organizations
to system level design and optimization
