Paper Submission Guidelines
IGSC’19 welcomes submissions that have not been published and that are not under review by other conferences or journals. All submissions will be evaluated on their originality, technical soundness, significance, presentation, and interest to the conference attendees. Please see Paper Submission page for specific instructions related to paper submission. Upon approval from IEEE, IGSC conference proceedings will be published by IEEE (in IEEE Xplore).
Best Paper Award and Journal Publication
IGSC bestows a best paper award as selected by a technical committee. In addition, a special issue based on best contributions to IGSC 2019 in SUSCOM (Sustainable Computing: Informatics and System), an Elsevier SCI-indexed journal, is under consideration.
Workshops
Proposals are solicited for workshops to be held in conjunction with the conference. Proposals should be submitted to the Workshops Chair (axgeec@rit.edu).
Ph.D. Forum and Project Demos
The forum solicits extended abstract submissions from doctoral students engaged in research on sustainable and energy-efficient computing a well as poster and project demos from all researchers, faculty, and students. Please refer to the igsc website for more information and submission instructions.
Industrial Partners
The conference seeks industry partners and sponsors with opportunities for them to showcase their technologies. Please contact one of the General Co-Chairs.
