Dear Colleagues,

Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this email. You are cordially
invited to submit papers for the Third International Conference on Cloud
and Green Computing (CGC), to be held in Karlsruhe, Germany, Sept 30th to
Oct 2nd 2013. Please pass this message on to colleagues who may be
interested.

ABSTRACT DEADLINE: May 5th, 2013
PAPERS DUE: May 12th, 2013

**** Overview ****

Cloud computing is positioning itself as an emerging platform for
delivering information infrastructures and resources as IT services.
Customers (enterprises or individuals) can provision and deploy Cloud
services via pay-as-you-go pricing models saving huge capital investments
in their own IT infrastructures. The paradigm has attracted international
interest with many open challenges such as security and privacy. 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 energy consumptions, heat
dissemination, greenhouse emissions and potentially also climate change. As
such, green computing challenges the community for energy efficient and
environmentally friendly solutions for modern computing infrastructures.
These two domains meet at the challenge of making modern (Cloud) computing
infrastructures environmentally friendly, sustainable and efficient with
respect to their energy consumption.

CGC (Cloud and Green Computing) was created to provide a prime
international forum for researchers, industry practitioners and domain
experts to exchange the latest advances in Cloud and Green computing as
well as their synergy.

**** Important Dates ****

Abstract Submission: May 05th 2013
Paper Submission: May 12th 2013
Author Notification: July 10th 2013
Camera Ready: August 12th 2013


**** Submission Guidelines ****

Submissions must include an abstract, keywords, the e-mail address of the
corresponding author and should not exceed 8 pages for full conference
papers, 6 pages for short / work in progress papers, and 2 pages for
posters, including all tables and figures in the IEEE CS format. The
template files for LaTeX or Word can be downloaded from
http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting. 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must represent original and unpublished work.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) as a PDF at the CGC2013 submission site:
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cgc2013.


**** Publication ****

Accepted and presented papers will be included into the IEEE Conference
Proceedings published by IEEE CS Press (Indexed by EI). 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 ****

Distinguished papers presented at the conference, after further revision,
will be published in special issues of high quality SCI indexed
international journals: TBA
