The 2013 IEEE International Conference on Networking, Sensing and Control will be held in Paris-Evry, France. The main theme of the conference is “Technology for efficient green networks”. Sustainable development economic with preserved environment is a great challenge in the 21st century to the planet. The development of human-oriented services for enhancing life and mobility is of primary importance. Green networks involve almost all economic and social areas such as information and signal transmission networks, energy and water distribution networks, and goods and people transportation networks. Although public and private institutions, governments in many countries have targeted at green networks for several decades, the true achievement of efficient green networks depends cruelly on real and important progress of advanced technologies and innovative methodologies in design, management, control of networks, cooperation among all partners, and coordination at different levels, especially the information systems and infrastructures. This conference will provide a remarkable opportunity for the academic and industrial communities to address new challenges and share solutions, and discuss future research directions. It will feature plenary speeches, industrial panel sessions, funding agency panel sessions, interactive sessions, and invited/special sessions. Contributions are expected from academia, industry, and management agencies.
