International Workshop on Services, Energy, and Ecosystem (SEE 2010)

Motivations & Objectives

Although significant progress has been made in the recent years in making computing greener - energy-efficient and environmentally sustainable - the net impact of improvements in energy efficiency is generally more than offset by increasing demand for computing power and capacity, driven by new digitized business processes and services. The total energy consumption has been increasing due to proliferation of computers, data centers and various types of mobile computing and communication devices, as well as by the emergence of, and demand for, new applications. To address this issue holistically, there is now call for making applications and services themselves energy-aware and -efficient. New innovative ICT-based tools for monitoring and managing energy consumption in several application have emerged, and novel approaches for creating energy-aware systems and applications are being developed to create a better and sustainable ecosystem.

The first international workshop on Services, Energy, and Ecosystem (SEE 2010) focuses on creating sustainable (green) energy-efficient services and fostering the growth towards a new eco-friendly world of services. It aims to bring together researchers and practitioners from multidisciplinary fields working on energy-aware and energy-efficient systems and applications to share their contributions in this area and for interactive discussions to set an agenda for further work in this important new area.
