The energy consumption of data centres offering all kinds of services such as cloud services, high performance computing, and traditional storage and data management in global organizations is increasing exponentially. For the sustainable development of ICT technology, new solutions for energy-efficient computing are needed in various technology fields. Especially the data centres play a big role in targeting energy-efficient and low-carbon economic development.

The E²DC aims to increase the international awareness of energy-aware data centre technologies and to allow the exchange of ideas and interaction among the different researchers in the topic. The scope of the workshop reaches from research on green data centre technologies varying from the information and communication technologies to business models and Green SLA solutions. The workshop also addresses researchers from infrastructure research to share their ideas and solutions for green data centres.

The workshop invites original papers that were not previously published and are not currently under review for publication elsewhere. Topics include, but are not limited to:

Energy-aware communication and network solutions for data centres
Energy-aware cloud and high performance computing solutions
Energy-aware data storages and reservoirs
Scalability of federated data centres
Large scale simulations
Energy-aware data centre infrastructures and architectures
Novel business models of green ICT and data centres
Energy optimization algorithms and models
Green SLAs
Green computation and services
Standardization

Submission and publication of the work

The workshop is arranged in conjunction with e-Energy 2012 conference and will be held in Madrid on May 8^th, 2012. Two of the accepted papers are also expected to be presented at the e-Energy 2012 conference and included in the ACM digital library. All the E²DC papers are to be submitted via EDAS: http://www.edas.info/N12083.

The post-proceedings will be published by Springer in their Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. The Springer “LNCS Proceedings” style should be used for submission. Templates for LaTeX and Word are available at LNCS webpage. At least one of the authors of each accepted paper must attend E²DC to present the paper.

Full papers should describe original research results. Submissions should be full-length papers up to 12 pages using the LNCS style (including figures, references, and a short abstract).
