First International Workshop on Green Communications (GreenComm?'09)

Welcome to GreenComm?'09!

The steadily rising energy cost and the need to reduce global CO₂ emission to protect our environment are today's economical and ecological drivers for the emerging consideration of energy consumption in all fields of communications. Triggered by network operators experiencing energy cost as a significant new factor of their calculation, researchers have started to investigate approaches for reducing power consumption and manufacturers have started offering energy-efficient network components. Also standards bodies, such as the IEEE, are already developing standards for energy-efficient protocols. However, research and development in these areas is still at an early stage and the space of potential solutions is far from being explored.

The First International Workshop on Green Communications (GreenComm?'09), held in conjunction with the IEEE International Conference on Communications (IEEE ICC 2009), will bring together academic and industrial researchers for discussing energy-efficient communications. It will close the gap between the already established conferences and workshops covering energy efficiency for IT on one side and for wireless sensor networks on the other side.
