[Announcements] Call for Papers - GPC 2020 (Full Paper Due is extended to Jan 31, 2020)

[崔禾磊]

The 15th International Conference on Green, Pervasive and Cloud Computing (GPC 2020)
May 8-10, 2020, Xi'an, China


Background:
Green computing in the context of Pervasive and cloud Computing (GPC) is a newly-emerging research field in computer science and engineering. Pervasive computing and cloud computing are two promising paradigms in human's daily life. With the exponential growth in the deployments of techniques in pervasive computing and cloud computing, they have to face the critical issues on energy consumption, for example, controlling the energy consumed by the large-scale cloud datacenters, and prolonging the battery life of mobile/IoT devices in pervasive computing. Therefore, new architectures, systems and related techniques, such as mobile cloud computing, crowd sensing/computing, and edge computing, are being developed to make the computing in the cloud and in pervasive systems more productive and energy efficient, for shaping a "Green" world in the future. The development of GPC will also bring benefits to the large-scale urban and social computing applications, as well as intelligent industry.


GPC 2020 is the next event in a series of highly successful events focusing on pervasive and environmentally sustainable computing. In the last years, the conference has been successfully held and organized all over the world: Taichung, Taiwan (2006), Paris, France (2007), Kunming, China (2008), Geneva, Switzerland (2009), Hualien, Taiwan (2010), Oulu, Finland (2011), Hong Kong (2012), Seoul, Korea (2013), Wuhan, China (2014), Plantation Island, Fiji (2015), Xi’an, China (2016), Coast, Italy (2017), Hangzhou, China (2018), and Uberlândia, Brazil (2019).
