Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The ever-growing demand for computing and networking services has led to a significant increase in the energy consumption of the ICT sector worldwide. More and more computer and network applications require immense computing power and intense network usage, and thus the amount of energy used by data centers and networking infrastructures has rapidly increased over recent years. In addition, wireless sensor networks and mobile devices, for which energy efficiency represents a key aspect, are increasingly pervasive. Accordingly, reducing the power usage of all these systems and making them more energy-efficient is a compelling need.
On the other hand, the complexity of computer and network systems is ever increasing. Thus, building energy-efficient computer and network systems poses various challenges at different levels of the architectural stack, from user-level software applications to low-level hardware components.
This Special Issue focuses on recent advances from research and industry on energy-efficient computer and network systems. Original contributions, reviews, and surveys are welcome. Extended versions of previously published conference papers are accepted if they include at least 30% new contributions.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Analysis and design of energy-efficient software and hardware systems;
- Analysis and optimization of energy efficiency in Cloud, Fog, and Edge Computing;
- Approaches and techniques for energy-efficient Big Data processing;
- Approaches and techniques for energy-efficient high-performance computing applications;
- Techniques and tools for evaluating energy efficiency in computer and network systems;
- Techniques for automated energy consumption characterization and profiling of computer and network systems;
- Novel approaches for designing and managing energy-efficient computer and network architectures;
- New metrics and measurement techniques for energy-efficient computers and networks;
- Evaluation and optimization of emerging energy-efficient computer and network architectures;
- Techniques and tools for improving the energy efficiency of existing computer and network system components.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Computers is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1800 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
