SUMMARY:Fourth International Workshop on Green and Sustainable Networking (GreenNet 2025)
DESCRIPTION:Fourth International Workshop on Green and Sustainable Networking (GreenNet 2025)\nIn conjunction with IEEE International Conference on Communication (ICC) 2025\,  8–12 June 2025 // Montreal\, Canada \nEnergy efficiency and sustainability have become of paramount importance in all human activities\, including the information and communication technology sector. The trade-off between availability\, resiliency\, programmability\, and energy efficiency of networks and services is a key challenge for the next decade and monitoring methods and metrics for power consumption\, energy efficiency\, as well as sustainability are important\, as well as benchmarking of solutions based on well-defined KPIs. For that reason\, the goal of the GreenNet Workshop is to address emerging concepts and challenges related to energy efficiency and sustainability for networked services.

SUMMARY:IEEE - 6th Workshop on ‘‘Emerging Topics in 6G Communications’’
DESCRIPTION:Workshop co-chairs\n• Ruiqi (Richie) Liu – ZTE Corporation\, China\n• Nizar Zorba – Qatar University\, Qatar\n• Ana Garcia Armada – Universidad Carlos III de Madrid\, Spain\n• Wei Zhang – The University of New South Wales\, Australia \nMain contact \n\nrichie.leo@zte.com.cn\n\nImportant Dates \n\nPaper submission deadline: July 15\, 2025\nNotification of acceptance: Sept. 1\, 2025\nCamera-ready papers & registration: Oct 1\, 2025\n\nSubmission link \n\nhttps://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=34067&track=132189\n\nScope\n5G networks and devices are now a reality with wide deployment and spread among population\, but the demand for advanced data services as well as beyond-communication services is still booming\, and will soon need for a new generation for wireless/cellular communication\, the 6G. It will be a new standard that not only provides high data rates\, extremely low delay\, large connection density\, but also will enable the integrated sensing and communications as well as AI-native designs. Novel beyond-communication usage scenarios and use cases are envisaged to be supported\, and thus more computation and communication resources may be consumed\, where their optimization is a must.\n6G communications will bring new challenges due to their sensitivity to scenario conditions\, thereby requiring highly adaptive techniques that will adapt fast\, in order to guarantee a satisfactory delay. Spectrum and resources management will be crucial within 6G to account for the extremely heterogeneous scenario. The network complexity will also be unprecedented\, due to the very diverse applications such as ultra-low latency requirements for critical vehicular communications\, the growing demand of high positioning accuracy for location-based services\, and dense heterogeneous architectures. Several emerging topics are encountered within 6G and this workshop will focus on such emerging topics\, and potential solutions will be presented. Researchers and engineers from academia and industry are invited to submit their recent research results and innovations. \nTopics\nWe seek original work not currently under review by any other journal/magazine/conference. Topics of interest include\, but are not limited to: \n\nAI applications for 6G.\nNovel signal processing techniques for 6G.\nSmart antenna designs for 6G.\n6G communications at the Terahertz band.\nAdvanced Full Duplex strategies for 6G.\nMeta-surfaces implementation at 6G.\nNew Quality of Service (QoS) metrics for 6G.\nMultiple Access schemes suitable for 6G.\nDynamic spectrum access/sharing at 6G band.\nNew network architectures in 6G.\nSelf-organising 6G-enabled IoT.\nInterference management at 6G.\nNew security concepts within 6G.\n6G Testbeds and Applications.\nSpectrum regulatory for 6G bands.\n\nPaper Submission\nAll final submissions of accepted papers must be written in English with a maximum paper length of six (6) printed pages (10-point font)\, including figures. No more than one (1) additional printed page (10-point font) may be included in final submission\,s and the extra page (the 7th page) will incur an over-length page charge of US$100. All final papers must be submitted to the IEEE Conference eXpress website. \nFor more information\, please see IEEE Globecom 2025 official website: https://globecom2025.ieee-globecom.org/authors
