Introduction

Cloud computing is positioning itself as a new emerging platform for
delivering information
infrastructures and resources as IT services. Customers (enterprises or
individuals) can
then provision and deploy these services in a pay-as-you-go fashion and in a
convenient way
while saving huge capital investment in their own IT infrastructures. It has
evoked a high
degree of interest internationally with many challenges such as security and
privacy
remaining open. Green computing, in general, aims to enable computing and IT
infrastructures to be energy efficient and environmentally friendly. With
dramatically
increasing demand on computing and storage systems, IT infrastructures have
been scaled
tremendously which results in huge amount of energy consumption, heat
dissemination,
greenhouse emission and even part of climate change. As such, green
computing has come to
the picture seeking solutions for computing and IT infrastructures to be
energy efficient
and environmentally friendly.

While customers can enjoy green atmosphere as well as cost saving and
convenience because
cloud computing accommodates their IT infrastructures in the cloud, how to
green the cloud
becomes increasingly challenging and extremely important in terms of global
energy
efficiency and environmental sustainability.

CGC (Cloud and Green Computing) is created to provide a prime international
forum for both
researchers, industry practitioners and environment experts to exchange the
latest
fundamental advances in the state of the art and practice of Cloud computing
and Green
computing as well as joint-venture and synergic research and development
across both areas.

Submission Guidelines

Submissions must include an abstract, keywords, the e-mail address of the
corresponding
author and should not exceed 8 pages for main conference, including tables
and figures in
IEEE CS format. The template files for LATEX or WORD can be downloaded here.
All paper
submissions must represent original and unpublished work. Each submission
will be peer
reviewed by at least three program committee members. Submission of a paper
should be
regarded as an undertaking that, should the paper be accepted, at least one
of the authors
will register for the conference and present the work. Submit your paper(s)
in PDF file at
the CGC2011 submission site:
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cgc2011. Authors
of accepted papers, or at least one of them, are requested to register and
present their
work at the conference, otherwise their papers may be removed from the
digital libraries of
IEEE CS and EI after the conference.

Publications

Accepted and presented papers will be included into the IEEE Conference
Proceedings
published by IEEE CS Press (pending). Authors of accepted papers, or at
least one of them,
are requested to register and present their work at the conference,
otherwise their papers
may be removed from the digital libraries of IEEE CS and EI after the
conference.

Distinguished papers presented at the conference, after further revision,
will be published
in special issues of Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience,
Computing
(Springer), Journal of Computer and System Sciences.
