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:
The workshop on Green Computing Middleware invites authors to submit original and unpublished work. Papers must not exceed 6 pages, must strictly follow the ACM conference proceedings format (http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html), and must be submitted in PDF format. The workshop papers will be published in the ACM digital library.
