Papers describing original work are invited in any of the areas listed below. Papers describing advanced prototypes, systems, tools and techniques and general survey papers indicating future directions are also encouraged. Particularly relevant is the so-called Smart Grid technology, seeking to optimize distributed electricity generation, especially from renewable sources, and to promote the use of smart devices (including smart home and new vehicular energy approaches) that require further research on distributed communications, energy storage and integrations of various sources of energy. The tradeoffs between energy efficiency and performance have become key challenges that must be addressed in both, distributed and traditional performance-oriented infrastructures. The conference will focus on solutions for all aspects of green computing such as energy efficiency, carbon footprint reduction and cooling management. Green Computing is nowadays one of the major challenges for most IT organizations that involve medium and large scale distributed infrastructures like Grids, Clouds and Clusters. Regulatory reforms, particularly price-setting mechanisms, and consumer engagement are priority areas for policy change.ĭoi:10.1016/j.enpol.2012.02.The purpose of the 4th International Conference on Smart Cities and Green ICT Systems (SMARTGREENS) is to bring together researchers, designers, developers and practitioners interested in the advances and applications in the field of Smart Grids, Green Information and Communication Technologies, Sustainability, Energy Aware Systems and Technologies. A systemic perspective is needed for policy in order to accommodate the changes required for smart grid development. Major obstacles including partial electricity market reform and public distrust exist. Second, while Korea's government-led approach has its strengths in driving change, it has also exposed weaknesses in the country's ability to mobilise the private sector and consumer participation. e and niche levels has impacted on the development of smart grids. The complex interactions between these factors at the landscape, First, the development of smart grids in Korea has been shaped by various factors including macroeconomic policy, the role of the government, and experimentation. Drawing on desktop research and semi-structured interviews, this paper has two major findings. This paper examines the motivations, processes and outcomes of the development of smart grids in South Korea through the perspectives of governance and innovation systems.
