The growing energy costs are encouraging the governments push for an accelerated availability of more sustainable and efficient equipment and networks. This effort requires a strong commitment and coordinated actions among operators, vendors and academia to produce reusable definitions of performance indicators of energy efficiency and broadband deployment. While taking into account the ecological and economical drivers for the emerging consideration of energy consumption, the challenge for our community is to increase the performance and reliability of existing communication networks, IT facilities, data centers and high performance network elements.
Cloud-based systems have addressed part of the challenge by virtualizing hardware, software, service, platform and infrastructure to optimize the performances while reducing the ecological impact of computing. Indeed, Cloud mechanisms are often described as key enablers for Green-computing. However, on top of the increasing number of available architecture(s), protocols and interface engineering and specifications, our community must develop the required test and conformance procedures for equipment vendors, network operators and third-party developers. In this context, the required KPIs that would enable proper actions and monitoring are beyond the supervision capabilities of human administrators. These considerations motivate the reuse of the recent advances of autonomic computing to enforce energy-saving feedback loops in virtualized environments.
The First International Workshop on Autonomic Systems Enabling Green Computing (ASGC 2011) will bring together academic and industrial researchers for discussing the usage of autonomic principles for energy-efficient computing. It will close the gap between the already established conferences and workshops covering energy-efficiency for IT on one side and for autonomic-computing on the other side.
The workshop will provide an in-depth overview on autonomic systems and highlight their latest advances. Successes and failures will outline the motivations to investigate and develop energy-efficient (autonomic) solutions.
The main motivation for this workshop is to demonstrate the performance of autonomic mechanisms in the area of green computing, from the intrinsic performance of the individual algorithms, to fully integrated systems and end-to-end network scenarios.
The topics suggested by the conference can be discussed in term of concepts, state of the art, research, standards, implementations, running experiments, applications, and industrial case studies. Authors are invited to submit complete unpublished papers, which are not under review in any other conference or journal in the following, but not limited to, topic areas.
All tracks are open to both research and industry contributions.
- Energy-efficiency in specific networks
- Mobile and wireless access networks
- Broadband access networks
- Appliances management in home and office networks
- Autonomic computing applied to :
- Communication networks
- IT facilities
- Data centers
- High performance network elements
- Energy management in communication networks
- Architectures and frameworks
- Hierarchical and distributed techniques
- Remote power management for terminals
- Harvesting distributed energy generation

Your paper should also comply with the additional editorial rules.
Once you receive the notification of paper acceptance, you will be provided by the Conference Publisher an online author kit with all the steps an author needs to follow to submit the final version. The author kits URL will be included in the letter of acceptance.
Posters
Posters are welcome. Please submit the contributions following the instructions for the regular submissions using the "Submit a Paper" button and selecting the contribution type as poster. Submissions are expected to be 6-8 slide deck. Posters will not be published in the Proceedings. One poster with all the slides together should be used for discussions. Presenters will be allocated a space where they can display the slides and discuss in an informal manner. The poster slide decks will be posted on the IARIA site.
For more details, see the Posters explanation page.
Work in Progress
Work-in-progress contributions are welcome. Please submit the contributions following the instructions for the regular submissions using the "Submit a Paper" button and selecting the contribution type as work in progress. Authors should submit a four-page (maximum) text manuscript in IEEE double-column format including the authors' names, affiliations, email contacts. Contributors must follow the conference deadlines, describing early research and novel skeleton ideas in the areas of the conference topics. The work will be published in the conference proceedings.
For more details, see the Work in Progress explanation page
Technical marketing/business/positioning presentations
The conference initiates a series of business, technical marketing, and positioning presentations on the same topics. Speakers must submit a 10-12 slide deck presentations with substantial notes accompanying the slides, in the .ppt format (.pdf-ed). The slide deck will not be published in the conference’s CD Proceedings. Presentations' slide decks will be posted on the IARIA's site. Please send your presentations to [email protected].
Tutorials
Tutorials provide overviews of current high interest topics. Proposals should be for three hour tutorials. Proposals must contain the title, the summary of the content, and the biography of the presenter(s). The tutorials' slide decks will be posted on the IARIA's site. Please send your proposals to [email protected]
Panel proposals:
The organizers encourage scientists and industry leaders to organize dedicated panels dealing with controversial and challenging topics and paradigms. Panel moderators are asked to identify their guests and manage that their appropriate talk supports timely reach our deadlines. Moderators must specifically submit an official proposal, indicating their background, panelist names, their affiliation, the topic of the panel, as well as short biographies. The panel's slide deck will be posted on the IARIA's site.
