e-Energy 2010
In cooporation with ACM SIGCOMM, technically co-sponsored by IEEE Computer Society
e-Energy 2010 is the first international conference on energy-efficient computing and networking. The spreading of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has contributed much to the reduction of energy consumption in many areas of everyday life. Nevertheless ICT has to move ahead and be more energy-efficient itself. The conference addresses the fields of servers and communication infrastructures, services in data centers, end-systems in home and office environments, sensor networks, and future networks such as the Future Internet.

Abstract
Energy efficiency is crucial for the world tackling with double challenge of changing climate and limited energy supply. Especially in emerging markets with poor power supply and limited resources it’s a prerequisite. Societies are ongoing a transformation in energy supply. Simultaneously, consumers and organizations are increasingly concerned about the environmental behavior of different actors in the society.
Information and communication technologies (ICT) are key enablers of greater energy efficiency in the future. Authoritative sources, such as EU and McKinsey, have estimated that ICT sector can enable a reduction of 15% in the global CO2 emission by 2020. The ICT sector itself is responsible for 2% of worldwide carbon footprint. The growing demand for PCs, data centers, mobile phones, and networks will likely increase the ICT sectors own footprint in the future.
Since 2007 Nokia Siemens Networks has calculated its carbon emission footprint of its products and its own operations. NSN products such as village connection and flexi base station reduce energy usage and improve network efficiency. For its own employees NSN is actively promoting usage of virtual team tools and home office connections. NSN is also actively pursuing innovations that drive integration of energy utilities and ICT infrastructures.
