The 1st International Workshop on Green Cognitive Communications and Computer Networking (GCCCN) - April 28th, 2014 (Monday)
Cognitive principles have been
applied in communications and computing networks to improve the
transmission efficiency. In the case of wireless networks, the
topics are commonly called cognitive radio networks in recent years,
while, in the case of wireline networks, the topics could be called
cognitive wireline networks. In the case of computing systems, the
relevant topics could be called cognitive computing. However, higher
spectrum efficiency is usually achieved at the expense of higher
energy consumption. In recent years, energy and power efficient
designs of communication and computing networks have become more
crucial because of the steadily rising energy cost and environmental
concerns. Thus, there is an urgent need to
address the energy efficiency in such networks.
On the other hand, cognitive principles have the potential to
improve other aspects of Green IT, such as electromagnetic pollution
mitigation, resource and materials reusing, and creating human
friendly environments.
The first Workshop on Green
Cognitive Communications and Computing Networks (GCCCN) is to be
held in Toronto, Canada, as a part of IEEE INFOCOM 2014.The purpose
of this workshop is to bring together a group of technology
researchers from both academia and industry to explore how we can
make the computing and communications networks more energy
efficient.
