General Information

Green computing is nowadays a major challenge for most IT organizations that involve medium and large scale distributed infrastructures like Grids, Clouds and Clusters. The GCM workshop will focus on next generation middlewares that will require solutions for all aspects of green computing such as energy efficiency, carbon footprint reduction and cooling management. These middlewares must take into account the impact of green computing on the traditional distributed system issues like Dependability, Scalabilitity, Performance and Configuration management. The workshop aims to provide a forum to a wide audience from both the academia and the industry to discuss recent and innovative results in the field. Topics of interest addressed by the GCM workshop include, but are not limited to:

• Green architectures for Grids, Clouds and clusters
• Design of green computing middlewares
• Energy efficient large scale systems
• Green-oriented Autonomic computing
• QoS and green computing
• Energy efficiency benchmarking and profiling
• Green-aware configuration and resource management
• Component model for green computing
• Scheduling and control in green computing
• Virtualization impact for green computing
• Software engineering methodologies and tools for green computing
• Reporting and exposing carbon and energy impact
• Real life experiments
