A virtual forum called IEEE Online Conference on Green Communications (OnlineGreenComm 2013) will hold its third annual event from October 29 - 31. It will consist of sessions devoted to the development of next wave green communications and energy saving technologies.
"If current trends aren't changed worldwide energy consumption will increase by 53% from 2008 to 2035," said IEEE OnlineGreenComm co-chair Michela Meo of Politecnico di Torino, Italy.
Held entirely online, the three-day event is designed to enable attendees to participate in presentations on energy efficiency in an energy-efficient environment. IEEE OnlineGreenComm will host a wide selection of keynotes and technical papers on subjects ranging from green communications in LTE networks and multi-period traffic engineering to green optical network survivability and demand response communications services. Topics include:
Green Solutions for Communications Technologies including energy-efficient measurement profiling, networking and protocols, communications management, data centers and wired, wireless, vehicular and content delivery networks
Green Society Solutions based on Communications Technologies including smart cities, smart sensing, E-health, energy-efficient buildings, energy harvesting, industrial automation, Machine-to-Machine communications (M2M) and Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS)
Smart Grid Communications including advanced metering infrastructure and smart meter technologies, wide-area monitoring and control, demand-response management, distributed generation and storage, operations of renewable energy generation, management & control of distributed energy storage, grid-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-grid and micro-grids.
