Message from the special session organizers

Energy consumption is a major factor in the performance and deployment of modern Information and communication technology (ICT) systems. In order to achieve as minimal energy consumption as possible while maintaining satisfactory level of service quality in existing and future communication networks, it is necessary to develop energy-efficient systems with the capability to adapt dynamically to energy availability and usage. This proceedings solicits works on all aspects of enabling technologies for green networking and computing presented during the fourth Special session dedicated to this topic. The forth Special session on green networking and computing was organized in the frame of the 21st International Conference on Software, Telecommunications and Computer Networks (SoftCOM 2013). The SoftCOM 2013 conference was held in attractive ambience of the Zora hotel, Primosten, Croatia, September 18 to 20, 2013. The Conference is organized by the University of Split, Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture (FESB) under the patronage of the Croatian Ministry of Science, Education and Sports. The Conference has been technically co-sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society (ComSoc). Organizers of the fourth Special session on green networking and computing are University of Split, FESB and Politecnico di Milano university, Department of electronics and informatics (DEI). The Special session is organized in cooperation with the IEEE ComSoc Technical Subcommittee on Green Communications and Computing (TSCGCC). In the frame of Special session on green networking and computing, one half-day tutorial focused on energy-efficient core and content distribution networks was organized. In addition, eight accepted papers have been presented in the technical program of the two Special sessions on green networking (SS3/I and SS3/II). Also, one accepted paper was presented in the special session on Smart environment technologies (SS4) and one additional paper in session dedicated to Mobile and wireless communications (S2). We hope that readers of these proceedings will find the articles and presentations informative and that they will enjoy reading this feature topic devoted to exciting fast-evolving field of green networking and computing. We would like to thank all the authors who submitted articles to this Special session and to all presenters who give their presentations which significantly contribute to international affirmation of this Special session. Finally, we express our gratitude to all reviewers for their comments and valuable feedback on the submitted articles.
