The purpose of the 2nd International Conference on Smart Grids and Green IT
Systems (SMARTGREENS) is to bring together researchers, designers,
developers and practitioners interested in the advances and applications in
the field of Smart Grids, Green Information and Communication Technologies,
Sustainability, Energy Aware Systems and Technologies.

 

Green Computing is nowadays one of the major challenges for most IT
organizations that involve medium and large scale distributed
infrastructures like Grids, Clouds and Clusters. The conference will focus
on solutions for all aspects of green computing such as energy efficiency,
carbon footprint reduction and cooling management. The tradeoffs between
energy efficiency and performance have become key challenges that must be
addressed in both, distributed and traditional performance-oriented
infrastructures. Particularly relevant is the so-called Smart Grid
technology, seeking to optimize distributed electricity generation,
especially from renewable sources, and to promote the use of smart devices
(including smart home and new vehicular energy approaches) that require
further research on distributed communications, energy storage and
integrations of various sources of energy.

 

Papers describing advanced prototypes, systems, tools and techniques and
general survey papers indicating future directions are also encouraged.
Papers describing original work are invited in any of the areas listed
below. Accepted papers, presented at the conference by one of the authors,
will be published in the Proceedings of SMARTGREENS. Acceptance will be
based on quality, relevance and originality. Both full research reports and
work-in-progress reports are welcome. There will be both oral and poster
sessions.

 

Special sessions, dedicated to case-studies and commercial presentations, as
well as tutorials dedicated to technical/scientific topics are also
envisaged: companies interested in presenting their products/methodologies
or researchers interested in holding a tutorial, workshop or special session
are invited to contact the conference secretariat or visit the SMARTGREENS
conference website.
