Introduction

Sustainable Computing and Communications refers to principles that embrace
a range of policies, procedures, programs, and attitudes that run the
length and breadth of any use of information and communication
technologies. It is a holistic approach that stretches from power to waste
to purchasing to education and is a life-cycle management approach to the
deployment of IT across an organization. It includes designing,
manufacturing, using, and disposing of information and communication
systems with minimal or no impact on the environment.

SustainCom (Sustainable Computing and Communications) was created to
provide a prime international forum for researchers, industry practitioners
and domain experts to exchange the latest fundamental advances in the state
of the art and practice of Sustainable Computing andCommunications as well
as innovative applications.

Submission Guidelines
Submissions must include an abstract, keywords, the e-mail address of the
corresponding author and should not exceed 8 pages (or up to 10 pages with
over length charge), including tables and figures in IEEE CS format. The
template files for LATEX or WORD can be downloaded here. All paper
submissions must represent original and unpublished work. Each submission
will be peer reviewed by at least three program committee members.
Submission of a paper should be regarded as an undertaking that, should the
paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will register for the
conference and present the work.

Submit your paper(s) in PDF file at the submission site:
http://www.swinflow.org/confs/2022/sustaincom/submission.htm.

Publications
Accepted and presented papers will be included into the IEEE Conference
Proceedings published by IEEE CS Press. Authors of accepted papers, or at
least one of them, are requested to register and present their work at the
conference, otherwise their papers may be removed from the digital
libraries of IEEE CS and EI after the conference.

Distinguished papers will be selected for special issues in Journal of
Parallel and Distributed Computing, Concurrency and Computation: Practice
and Experience, Journal of Computer and System Science.
