              INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP
ON SCALABLE SOLUTIONS FOR GREEN IT (SCALSOL 2012)
************************************************************************

We have a great pleasure to invite you to participate in the

             "SECOND INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP
ON SCALABLE SOLUTIONS FOR GREENIT (SCALSOL 2012)"

                  (http://scalsol.gforge.uni.lu/)

to be held at Changzhou, China
       on October 25, 2012

As part of

The 12th IEEE International Conference on Scalable Computing
                 and Communications (SCALCOM 2012)
(http://cse.stfx.ca/~scalcom2012/)


*************************************************
WORKSHOP SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES
*************************************************

Energy-efficiency is one of the most important issues in nowadays
computing and communication systems. Due to
the importance of power and energy consumption in these systems,
various techniques have been investigated and developed.
However, the importance of the topic claims for new solutions able
to improve performances and to cope with the increasing workload demand.
Moreover, the solutions should be able to preserve or even increase
its efficiency when the number of resources increases.

The aim of this workshop is to create a thriving atmosphere to exchange
new ideas, proposing real practical solutions and discussing challenges
in scalable solutions for energy-efficiency in large-scale parallel and
distributed systems (Cluster, Grid, Cloud), information technology and
communication.

SCALSOL 2012 will be organized as part of the 12th IEEE International
Conference on Scalable Computing and COmmunications (SCALCOM 2012).
Technically sponsored by IEEE TCSC Technical Area in Green Computing.


*****************************************
       WORKSHOP TOPICS
*****************************************


The WORKSHOP seeks original contributions in all relevant areas,
including but not limited to the following topics:

•      Scalability of energy-efficient solutions on large-scale parallel
      and distributed systems, information technologies and communication
•      Green design scalability in the CLOUDS (cloud computing and
distributed systems)
•     Green High Density Computing and Ambient (ubiquitous) computing
•      Virtualization techniques for energy-efficiency in large scale
distributed systems
•      Algorithm designs for energy-efficient scalable solutions
•      Energy-efficient scalable resource allocation and load balancing
•      Energy-aware scalable scheduling
•      Reduced power/energy/heat algorithms & applications
•      Energy-efficient scalable solutions for network services and operations
•      Energy-efficient scalable solutions for internet-based
computing and applications
•      Network models and simulation modules/tools for energy
efficient solutions
•      Hardware solutions for energy-efficient large-scale networked systems
