Sustainable Computing
* Power-aware algorithms and protocols
* Power-aware software and hardware
* Low-power electronics and systems
* Application-specific ASICs and FPGAs
* Sensing and monitoring
* Characterization, metrics, and modeling
* Reliability, thermal behavior and control
* Power-efficient delivery and cooling
* Life-cycle analysis of IT equipment

Computing for Sustainability
* Renewable energy models and prediction
* Matching energy supply and demand
* Smart grid and microgrids
* Smart transportation and manufacturing
* Smart buildings and urban development
* Energy harvesting, storage, and recycling
* Climate and ecosystem monitoring
* Using IT to reduce carbon emissions
* Carbon metering and user feedback

IGCC'12 welcomes submissions that have not been published and that are
not under review by another conference or journal. All submissions
will be evaluated on their originality, technical soundness,
significance, presentation, and interest to the conference attendees.

Submissions must not exceed 10 letter-size pages using the IEEE format
for conference proceedings. Papers must be received by the submission
deadline to be considered for presentation.

The Technical Committee will select the best paper as well as several
papers to be extended and considered by the Journal on Sustainable
Computing.
