In conjunction with SIGMETRICS 2011
Sponsored by ACM SIGMETRICS
Part of the Federated Computing Research Conference (FCRC) 2011
Sustainability is a topic of increasing importance in modern society. The primary objective of this workshop is to explore how improvements to or new uses of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) can improve the environmental, economic and/or social sustainability of ICT systems, networks, and applications and of non-ICT processes (e.g., quantify the reduction in cost or carbon emissions from using tele-presence services instead of travel).
This workshop is intended to bring together researchers from the (traditional) SIGMETRICS community with researchers and practitioners in relevant areas, to exchange technical ideas and experiences on how to improve the sustainability of ICT. Improvements should be quantified in terms of sustainability metrics such as reductions in carbon emissions and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). Improvements in sustainability should ideally also demonstrate that acceptable Service Level Agreements (SLAs) can be maintained (i.e., a measure of ˇ°social sustainabilityˇ±). This workshop will serve as a forum for the SIGMETRICS community to apply general measurement, analysis and modeling techniques to this important area.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
In all of the above topics, "ICT systems" includes applications and services supported by ICT infrastructure. We believe that it is important to provide a medium for researchers and organizations to share insights and lessons learned as steps are taken towards improving sustainability, and strongly encourage submissions presenting research involving large-scale ICT systems such as entire data centers or enterprise-scale applications.
An award will be presented for the best student paper.
