EAI is actively monitoring the COVID-19 situation to ensure the safety, comfort and quality of experience for attendees and a successful course of the event.

Scope

Coping with global climate change has become a major issue related to the economic and social development all over the world. Low carbon economy and energy conservation and emission reduction have become the focus of attention. Low carbon and emission reduction is conducive to alleviate the resource constraints of world economic development, adjust and optimize economic institutions and change the mode of economic development. As the basic, leading and strategic industry of economic development, information industry undertakes the important responsibility of adjusting economic structure, transforming development mode and building a low-carbon society. Energy saving and emission reduction of information industry has important practical significance. With the development of 5G and artificial intelligence (AI), green energy, communication and network are also focused again, and their broad themes are crucial for ensuring a balance between economic growth and environmental sustainability. In this context, growing global concern leads to the adoption of new technological paradigms, especially for the operation of future Smart Cities.

The GreeNets 2021 conference aims to establish an international and multidisciplinary discussion opportunity for academic scientists, researchers, and professionals to exchange ideas and recent results (both positive and negative ones) in green energy, communications and networking. Recent developments and applications in AI are also of great interests.
