Introduction
The topic "Green networking" attracts growing attention due to economical, energetic, and environmental reasons. The amount of power consumed by ICT, which is rapidly increasing, as well as the energy bill of service providers contributes to the economic reasons. According to a number of studies, ICT alone is responsible for a percentage which varies from 2% to 10% of the world power consumption, due to the ever increasing diffusion of electronic devices. Communication networks, including the Internet and wireless networks, represent a non-negligible part of the energy consumption of ICT. In addition, the carbon footprint of ICT devices due to energy consumption and the activities related to their entire lifecycle contribute to global warming.

Objective
In the past few years, energy saving techniques are being considered for communication networks with new generation devices and network management approaches exploiting algorithms and protocols for adapting the network to the varying traffic load. The special issue on "Green Networking and Computing" aims to serve as a platform for researchers and visionaries from academia, research labs, and industry from all over the world working on the above concepts. Sharing ideas, views, results, and experiences in the field of green, wired and wireless networking is what "Green Networking and Computing" special issue should encompass. Theoretical and experimental achievements, innovative design and management approaches, prototyping efforts, and case studies are encouraged.

Recommended Topics
Topics to be discussed in this special issue include (but are not limited to) the following:
*         Applications of green networking technologies and principles
*         Cross-layer optimizations for reducing energy consumption
*         Energy cost models for network operators
*         Energy-efficient cloud computing
*         Energy-efficient network management
*         Energy-efficient peer-to-peer networking and overlays
*         Energy-efficient protocols and protocol extensions
*         Energy-efficient sensor networks
*         Energy-efficient transmission technologies
*         Green future Internet
*         Green network design
*         Green wired access network
*         Green wireless access networks
*         Hardware and architectural support for reducing power consumption
*         Optimization of energy consumption in optical networks
*         Power consumption models of networking infrastructure
*         Power measurements and data from empirical studies of communication networks
*         Renewable energy sources for wired and wireless access networks
*         Techniques for reducing power consumption in data centers
