Intorduction

Green computing, in the context of cloud and pervasive computing, is an emerging research field in computer science and engineering. Pervasive and cloud computing are promising paradigms that have been seeing exponential growth in the deployments and poised to take major roles in human's daily life. But in order to realize this potential, both are facing the critical challenges related to energy consumption, for example, controlling the energy spent by the large-scale data centers and prolonging the battery life of mobile devices in pervasive computing and Internet of Things (IoT). New concepts and technologies such as mobile cloud computing (MCC), software-defined networking (SDN), Edge / Fog and hybrid cloud services can be explored to make data centers and wireless devices more energy efficient.

The 17^th International Conference on Green, Pervasive, and Cloud Computing (GPC 2022, http://2022.gpc-conf.org) focuses on pervasive and environmentally sustainable computing. GPC 2022 will be held on 8^th -10^th December 2022 at Chengdu, China, and will provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to discuss and exchange novel ideas, results, experiences and work-in-process on the Green, Pervasive, and Cloud Computing.
