CALL FOR PAPERS

4^th Annual IEEE Conference on Technologies for Sustainability

Phoenix, AZ. October 9 – 11, 2016

http://ieee.org/sustech

Sustainability: the pursuit of environmentally sound development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the future!

The 4^th Annual IEEE Technologies for Sustainability (SusTech 2016) Conference is designed to explore the development and application of science, engineering and technology in achieving a sustainable lifestyle for humanity. It brings together scientists, engineers, technologists and scholars from multiple disciplines to hold a dialogue on environmental issues and collaborate on ideas to develop and utilize innovative tools and intelligent systems to address them. The attendees are expected to be exposed to the tools, connections and proactive solutions to take their sustainability programs to the next level.

SusTech 2016 conference will feature technical papers, posters and workshops. A number of prominent experts will be giving keynotes and invited talks. Best Posters and Papers in the conference will be eligible for an award. Full papers will be published in the Conference Proceedings. Papers accepted in the conference proceedings and presented during the conference will be submitted for inclusion in IEEE Xplore and other Abstracting & Indexing (A&I) databases.

Proposals are solicited for both oral and poster presentations from industry, government and academia (including students) covering relevant research, technologies, methodologies, tools and case studies. Topics with policy implications are also welcome. Poster presentations this year will be limited to students.

Topics of Interest

• Internet of Things – IOT (e.g.: sensors, computing, control, communication, storage and drive electronics targeted for IOT applications, medical electronics, drones)

• Smart Grid (e.g. communication, control, power electronics, energy storage, demand control and response)
• eWaste (e.g. reduction, conversion, disposal, recycling, reuse, harvesting, managing product lifecycle)

Dear YP,

this is a friendly reminder related to the forthcoming Young professionals (YP) event,
jointly organized by IEEE Italy section and University of
Bologna within the “2nd International Forum on Research and Technologies for Society
and Industry (RTSI 2016)“.
This is a forum which is running at University of Bologna, Bologna, Italy on 7-9 Sept
2016 (http://rtsi16.apice.unibo.it/xwiki/bin/view/RTSI2016/).

The YP event is a “Poster and Demo Session”
(http://rtsi16.apice.unibo.it/xwiki/bin/view/RTSI2016/YPEvent) that is focused
on YP and will be mainly devoted to  show innovative prototype implementations,
systems and technologies.
Demos can be considered as real, practical, and interactive proof of the
presenters’ research ideas and scientific or engineering contributions, with the
goal of offering YP the opportunity to discuss systems, applications,
prototypes, or proofs-of-concept with Senior researchers and people from
industry.

All demo submissions will be automatically subscribed to the “YP Demo
competition“. An evaluation committee will view and score posters/demos and
select:

• 1 for Best Demo Award. Demos will be primarily judged on originality,
  execution, and illustration of the core research ideas. The 500 € prize is
  sponsored by the IEEE Italy Section.
• 10 to receive 10 NUCLEO systems (provided by STmicroelectronics) containing the STM32F401 development board,
  ST Bluetooth Low Energy radio expansion board, ST MEMs Inertial and Environmental
  sensors board, and ST omnidirectional microphone board.
• 1 internship opportunity at STmicroelectronics’s site in Agrate, Italy,
  based on the Company’s assessment of the Young Professional’s talents and motivations to benefit from, and contribute to, the internship offering.

The deadline to submit proposals is May 15, 2016. If you are considering to
submit a contribution, send an email to [email protected]

Thank you
Best regards
Ferdinando
