The widescale proliferation of computing and communication infrastructure around the world has led to an increase in energy consumption in home, enterprise and data center environments. Energy consumed by the communication infrastructure can be high and works to address these concerns have involved researchers and industry alike. In addition, communication infrastructure can help reduce energy consumption in other domains like utility networks via ideas like smart grids, and transportation systems.

Green Networking track at NEM 2010 is designed to be a venue to bring together researchers and practitioners to discuss various problems and solutions in this domain.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Power measurements and data from empirical studies of computer and communication infrastructure
• Techniques for measuring or estimating power consumption of computer and communication infrastructure
• Techniques for reducing power consumption in data center, enterprise and home environments
• Hardware and architectural support for reducing power consumption
• Green network design for high density data centers and cloud computing
• Methods that focus on computing and communication systems as key components for reducing the power footprint in other environments such as smart grids and smart transportation systems
• Application of networking technologies and principles for greening services and utilities affecting our daily life
