***Special Issue Information***



The ever-growing demand for computing and networking services has led to a relevant increase of worldwide energy consumption by the ICT sector. More and more application domains require large computing power and intense network usage, so that the amount of energy used by data centres and networking infrastructures has rapidly increased over the recent years. At the same time, wireless sensor networks and mobile devices, for which energy efficiency is often a key aspect, are increasingly pervasive. Accordingly, reducing the power consumption of all these systems is currently a compelling need.



Building energy efficient computer and network systems poses various challenges at different levels of their architectural stack. Every component of these systems can potentially contribute to reducing the energy footprint; from low-level hardware components, to operating systems, network managers, middleware, and user applications. Therefore, approaches, techniques and tools—for analyzing, evaluating and optimizing these systems and their components in terms of energy consumption—represent valuable assets.



This Special Issue focuses on recent advances from research and industry on energy-efficient computer and network systems. Original contributions, reviews and surveys are welcome. Extended versions of previously published conference papers are accepted if they include at least 30% of significant novel contribution.



Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:



- Analysis and design of energy-efficient hardware and software components;

- Techniques and tools for evaluating energy efficiency in computer and network systems;

- Techniques for automated energy consumption characterisation and profiling;

- Novel approaches for designing and managing energy-efficient computers and networks;

- Techniques and tools for improving energy efficiency of existing computer and network systems;

- New metrics and measurement techniques for energy-efficient computers and networks;

- Analysis and optimization of energy efficiency in Cloud, Fog and Edge Computing;

- Evaluation and optimization of emerging energy-efficient computer and network architectures;

- Approaches for designing and evaluating energy-efficient user applications.





Manuscript Submission



Manuscripts may be submitted from now until 31 January 2022 as they will be published on an ongoing basis. Submitted manuscripts should not be under consideration for publication elsewhere.
