Message from the symposium organizers

Communication technologies continue to be a central element of the transition to smart, energy-efficient and sustainable lifestyles. However, energy requirements of communication systems are a challenging problem that is already straining operating budgets and attracting the attention of policy makers around the world. For that reason, improving energy efficiency of information and communication systems become imperative goal. This proceedings solicits works on all aspects of enabling technologies for green networking and computing presented during the seventh in a row Symposium organised on this topic. The 7th Symposium on green networking and computing (SGNC 2016) was organized in the frame of the 24th International Conference on Software, Telecommunications and Computer Networks (SoftCOM 2016). The SoftCOM 2016 conference was held in attractive ambience of the hotel Radisson Blu Resort, Split, Croatia, September 22 to 24, 2016. 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 7th Symposium on green networking and computing are University of Split, FESB and Politecnico di Milano university, Department of electronics, informatics and bioengineering (DEIB). The Symposium is organized in cooperation with the IEEE ComSoc Technical Committee on Green Communications and Computing (TCGCC). In the frame of 7th Symposium on green networking and computing, four accepted papers have been presented in the technical program of the first part of the Symposium on green networking and computing (SYM2/I). Additionally, five accepted papers were presented in the technical program of the second part of the Symposium on green networking and computing (SYM2/II). In total, ten papers were accepted and presented, covering different topics from improving energy efficiency of data centres and wireless backhaul heterogeneous networks to enhancing energy performance of routing protocols and cognitive networks. 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 Symposium and to all presenters who give their presentations which significantly contribute to international affirmation of this Symposium. Finally, we express our gratitude to all reviewers for their comments and valuable feedback on the submitted articles.
