Message from the symposium organizers

Communication and computing systems have increasing environmental footprint due to the significant amounts of greenhouse gas emission and energy consumption. To address such problems and create a sustainable environment, green communications and computing solutions should be designed with new methodologies, tools, algorithms, energy models, platforms, and systems to support next-generation communication and computing infrastructures. These proceedings gather works on all aspects of enabling technologies for green networking and computing presented during the ninth in a row Symposium organized on this topic. The 9th Symposium on green networking and computing (SGNC 2018) was organized in the frame of the 26th International Conference on Software, Telecommunications and Computer Networks (SoftCOM 2018). The SGNC 2018 symposium was held in the attractive ambiance of the Bluesun Resort Velaris, Supetar (Island of Brac), Croatia, September 13 to 15, 2018. The SoftCOM 2018 Conference is organized by the University of Split, FESB and Croatian Communications and Information Society (CCIS) under the auspices of the Ministry of Science, Education and Sports. The Conference was technically co-sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society (ComSoc). Organizers of the 8th Symposium on green networking and computing (SGNC 2018) are the University of Split, FESB and Politecnico di Milano University, Department of electronics, informatics and bioengineering (DEIB). The SGNC 2018 symposium is organized in cooperation with the IEEE ComSoc Technical Committee on Green Communications and Computing (TCGCC) and Croatian ACM chapter (CRO ACM). In the frame of 9th SGNC 2018 symposium, three accepted papers have been presented in the technical program of the first part of the SGNC 2018 symposium (SYM1/I). Additionally, three accepted papers were presented in the technical program of the second part of the SGNC 2018 symposium (SYM2/II). In total, six papers were accepted and presented, covering different topics from energy-efficient algorithms for Ethernet link aggregation in software-defined networks to the energy-efficient clustering algorithm for the wireless sensor networks. Additionally, during the conference business forum, one presentation held by an expert from company Nokia, Croatia was organized, on the topic related to how power efficiency is tailoring Nokia's technology. We hope that readers of these proceedings will find the articles and presentations informative and that they will enjoy reading this feature topic devoted to exciting fast-evolving field of green networking and computing. We would like to thank all the authors who submitted articles to this Symposium and to all presenters who give their presentations which significantly contribute to international affirmation of this Symposium. Finally, we express our gratitude to all reviewers for their comments and valuable feedback on the submitted articles.
