International Conference on Green Communications and Networks (GCN) 2011 will be held on July 15-18, 2011, in Chongqing, China, which is organized by Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Nanyang Technological University, BeiHang University , Peking University, University of Science and Technology Beijing and sponsored by Chinese Association for Artificial Intelligence (CAAI).
GCN 2011 will be a venue for leading academic and industrial researchers to exchange their views, ideas and research results on innovative technologies and sustainable solutions leading to greener communications and networks. The conference will feature keynote speakers, a panel discussion and paper presentations.
The objective of GCN 2011 is to facilitate an exchange of information on best practices for the latest research advances in the area of green communications and networks, which mainly includes the intelligent control, or efficient management, or optimal design of access network infrastructures, home networks, terminal equipment, and etc. GCN 2011 will provide a forum for engineers and scientists in academia, industry, and government to address the most innovative research and development including technical challenges, social and economic issues, and to present and discuss their ideas, results, work in progress and experience on all aspects of advanced green communications and networks engineering.
Topics of interests include, but are not limited to, the following:
Network designmethodology
Enabling technologies
Network components and devices
Applications
Others and emerging newtopics
Submission and Publication
The accepted papers will be published by Springer in Lecture Notes in Electrical Engineering (LNEE, ISNN: 1876-1100), which should be indexed by EI and ISTP according the previous LNEE proceedings index results. 8-page length in total is allowed for each paper (paper less than 7 pages will be rejected directly). Up to one additional pages will be permitted with additional fees. Papers must strictly follow the LNEE format available at the conference website. Papers must be submitted electronically as described at the conference website.
