IEEE AccessSpecial Section in Big Data for Green Communications and Computing
Extended Firm Submission Deadline (due to some request): March 23, 2015Paper submission: :http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ieee-access
IEEE Access invites manuscript submissions in the area of Big Data forGreen Communications and Computing. With the rapid growth of data in thepast few years, information and communication technologies have madesignificant impacts on global environments on both positive and negativeaspects. International efforts have started to advance green energyinitiatives to create sustainable energy systems to support economic andsocietal development. Generation of huge amounts of data, called Big Data,across different sectors such as banking, healthcare, retail and education,among others, is creating the need for an efficient tool to manage thisdata. Conventional database management tools do not have the capability tomanage surging volumes of unstructured data. For example, more than 80% ofdata is unstructured in the form of videos, tweets, GPS coordinates andemails, which means that decisions need to be made at high velocity. Datais expected to exponentially grow through data collected via pervasivesensors and/or the Internet. It also leads to new emerging challenges thathave the potential to create more accurate solutions for science andtechnologies. We believe that big data has a significant impact on greencommunications and computing, which aims to provide energy-sustainable,resource-saving, and environment-friendlysolutions. But how can one leverage the use of Big Data technology in orderto become really green? For this Special Section in IEEE Access, we inviteacademic and industrial researchers to identify and discuss technicalchallenges and recent results on new concepts and technologies to achievegreen communications and computing, as well as new ideas in big data forgreen communications and computing applications and services. Thecontributions may present novel concepts, ideas, models, methodologies,system design, and experiments for providing objective comparisons betweenpotential ideas and solutions. Topics of interest include, but are notlimited to: Big Data for green network modeling, green networking andprotocols, green communication management, green network architecturedesign, green data center networking and computing, green network security,privacy, and trust, and green network fault tolerance.
