Workshop description :

Improving the energy efficiency of large-scale distributed systems (e.g.
data centres and Clouds) is a key challenge for both academic and
industrial organizations. After the success of ExtremeGreen2013,
ExtremeGreen2014  and ExtremeGreen2015 workshops, the Xgreen2016
workshop will focus on scientific and industrial approaches and
solutions that provide original solutions in terms of energy savings and
energy efficiency. Clean-slate approaches and innovative solutions
breaking conventional approaches are welcome. The workshop also welcomes
submissions of work-in-progress papers on innovations in energy
efficiency of large-scale distributed systems. The authors are also
encouraged to provide preliminary results that demonstrate the
originality and possible impact of the proposed solutions. Submissions
will be reviewed by an international group of experts in distributed
systems and energy efficiency.
