********************************************************************************
ICT and Green are two tightly related concepts. ICT systems in fact might support sustainability in different ways. On the one hand, the design of more efficient ICT systems can contribute in decreasing the energy consumption related to ICT that is continuously increasing. For example, in some regions of the world (e.g., US and UK) the energy consumed by the data centers is close to 10% of the total energy consumed in the area by the country. On the other hand, ICT can be used to monitor the impact of other systems (e.g., buildings, transportation) on the environmental sustainability and to support green-aware decisions. The purpose of ICGreen is to bring together researchers and practitioners that deal with the design of Green ICT systems or of ICT use for environmental sustainability.

ORGANIZE A SPECIAL SESSION
We accept proposals for the organization of special sessions.
The session should focus on a very specific topic. Please, send your session title, the estimated number of registered papers, the list of potential reviewers and your CV to icgreen2015@easychair.org
The sessions will be inserted in the conference program and advertised on the conference Web page. Papers will be included in the conference proceedings published by SciTePress. The authors of the best paper will be invited to submit an extended version to a special issue published by the Springer "Computing" journal.
The session chair is in charge to manage the publicity of the session while the revision process will be managed at the conference level.
