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. Although the topic has gained lots of
attention over the past years, some of the proposed solutions often seem
conservative and not easily applicable to large-scale systems. Their
impact at large-scale remains to be proved. Hence, this workshop aims to
provide a venue for discussion of ideas that can demonstrate "more than
small % solution" to energy efficiency and their applicability to "real
world". 

After the success of ExtremGreen2013 workshop, the ExtremeGreen2014 workshop will focus on scientific and
industrial approaches and solutions that could have a large impact 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
ideas that can have a large impact on improving the energy efficiency of
large-scale distributed systems. The papers must 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.

Topics of interests :

 • Green clouds
 • Energy efficiency of data centers
 • Green Grids
 • Green networks for large scale distributed systems
 • Energy efficiency of storage solutions
 • Energy-aware design and programming
 • Energy-efficient hardware and software architectures
 • Sustainable solutions in large scale distributed systems
 • Energy-efficient resource management tools
 • Energy-efficient scalable approaches
 • Experimental results of Green solutions

Papers submission :

Submitted papers must be 8 pages long maximum. Authors must submit their articles through the submission system :
