IEEE Online Conference on Green Communications Call for Papers

IEEE Online Conference on Green Communications Call for Papers

“Call for Papers” Ends May 10 for Third Annual Event Dedicated to the
Advance of Green Communications & Energy Savings
NEW YORK, NY (March 7, 2013) – IEEE Online Conference on Green Communications
(OnlineGreenComm 2013), the virtual forum dedicated to the advancement of energy-efficient communications and green networking technologies, will hold its third annual event from October 29 - 31, 2013.

Rebranded from IEEE GreenCom to reflect the fully online agenda of the entire three-day program, IEEE OnlineGreenComm will consist of nearly one dozen sessions devoted to the development of next wave green communications and energy saving technologies. Interested participants are invited to visit www.ieee-OnlineGreenComm.org for more details including conference updates and submission guidelines. The “Call for Papers” deadline is May 10 for original, unpublished research papers.

“According to the U.S. Energy Department, if current trends aren’t changed worldwide energy
consumption will increase by 53 percent from 2008 to 2035,” says (IEEE OnlineGreenComm Co-Chair
Michela Meo of Politecnico di Torino, Italy). “Fortunately, the Information and Communications
Technology sector (ICT) offers numerous opportunities for reducing electricity consumption. IEEE
OnlineGreenComm is devoted to sharing the latest networking, smart grid and green communications
solutions with global professionals actively work to drive the newest global energy management
initiatives.”

Held entirely online, the three-day event is designed specifically to enable attendees from all over
the world to actively participate in scores of presentations on energy efficiency in an extremely energyefficient environment. In addition to providing the ability to interact with hundreds of international colleagues, this deeply informative, ecological and educational event will also embrace the latest powerful online conferencing tools to offer a near-physical experience that is both cost-effective and time-sensitive to today’s busy schedules.

Webcast internationally and then published at IEEE Xplore, 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. Other benefits include the ability to present research live and then interact with
audience members in real-time with moderator support. Specific topics of interest include, but are not
limited to:
- 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, Machineto-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

Everyone interested in either attending or presenting at IEEE OnlineGreenComm is invited to
visit www.ieee-OnlineGreenComm.org or contact Heather Ann Sweeney of the IEEE Communications
Society at 212-705-8938 or h [dot] sweeney [at] comsoc [dot] org for conference updates and/or original paper
submission guidelines.  In addition, all website visitors are encouraged to network with colleagues and
peers, share their professional experiences or discuss IEEE OnlineGreenComm through the conference’s
Facebook, Linkedin and Twitter pages.

The third annual IEEE OnlineGreenComm conference is hosted by the IEEE Communications
Society, which has over 50,000 members and is the second largest of IEEE’s 38 technical societies.
Founded in 1952, IEEE ComSoc is recognized as a major international forum for the exchange of ideas
on communications and information networking. The society is also an international sponsor of global
publications, conferences, certification and educational programs, local activities, technical committees
and standardization projects.

TechNav it, and have a good ride!

TechNav it, and have a good ride!

When you want to connect to the IEEE's universe of information, you don't Google it, you "TechNav it!"

Developed by IEEE volunteers, IEEE Technology Navigator (TechNav) is an amazing online vehicle to help us discover the most relevant engineering content in the IEEE's intellectual property resources in a quickest fashion.

Have you tried the new IEEE Technology Navigator yet? This powerful tool covers 8,645 topics. The information is organized by TechNav tags.  These tags are based on search terms from the IEEE Xplore digital library’s thesaurus. They are mapped to more than 50 IEEE societies and organizational units, as well as to industry sectors.

TechNav beta version was created in 2010 and got improved last year. The redesigned home page presents the topic areas in a more streamlined way. They can be navigated by industry topic (such as education, health care, or transportation) or by IEEE organization (like the IEEE Communications Society, IEEE Standards Association or IEEE Member and Geographic Activities). A mobile-friendly version of TechNav was also available on all mobile devices including smartphones and tablet computers.

Give the TechNav a test drive and let us know how it feels like. Is the Navigator fully loaded? Does it have a super powerful engine? Is it a smooth ride? How accurate is the steering wheel? Do you like it's interior features and interface? Are you in need for an app?

We encourage you to be our critics and let us know all about it either in the Comment Section of this blog below or email to society [at] comsoc [dot] org. Help us do better!

TechNav it, and enjoy the ride at technav.ieee.org.

IEEE ComSoc NY Chapter Seeking Breakthrough in Next Gen Network Architecture

IEEE ComSoc NY Chapter Seeking Breakthrough in Next Gen Network Architecture

In the evening of February 20th in New York City, IEEE ComSoc New York Chapter held its first technical session of the year. Warner Sharkey, P.E.(DE), Chapter Chair introduced the Speaker Mr. Vito Leggio MSc(EE).  Mr. Leggio, also the Vice Chair of the Chapter, presented a talk on his PhD research work entitled “Next Generation Network Architecture.”

The following is an abstract of this presentation:

New York Chapter event - The Next Generation Network Architecture

"The advent of virtualization in the computing industry has a profound impact on usage pattern where IT resources are expected to be available anytime, anywhere. However today's networks lack of automation and programmability prevents networking architecture solutions to be dynamically delivered to users without significantly increasing operational complexity.

By abstracting a logical view from the underlying infrastructure, Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and Application Aware Networks brings programmability to networking and computing industry for more agility, flexibility, and scalability.  As enterprise/ regional networks become converged and interact better with applications, new types of architecture using the enterprise and solutions architecture can be envisioned.

Intelligence oriented technologies and architectures are becoming more readily available.  Flexible intelligence tools and approaches are appearing in some areas, including network management systems, data storage and warehousing, virtualization and cloud computing. “

The presentation, held in The Empire Room within the Parsons Brinckerhoff offices on 7th Ave., Manhattan, was well attended with an audience of about 30 people.
