In supporting sustainable development, the field of information and communication technology (ICT) has coined the term “green ICT” or “green computing”, which describes the study and practice to use computing resources efficiently. Green computing covers a broad span of interrelated issues, from technology and engineering to economic and social aspects. Due to extensive penetration of ICT into human life, it also has a broad spectrum of application domains, for examples, in education, government and public services, health, and environment protection. As a contemporary issue, green computing becomes an important concern for big industries, small companies, and even government institutions since their success criteria are no longer based on a single measure. Unfortunately, it has not been widely understood, yet practiced effectively. Not many technological options have been explored, and green computing is still mainly viewed from technological and engineering perspectives only. The challenges are thus twofolds: exploring technology solutions to achieve environmentally-friendly computing, and how technology products/solutions can be applied effectively to meet the specified success criteria. These challenges are even more relevant to developing countries, since they are less exposed to scientific frontiers and have shorter tradition and less experiences of ICT utilization. On the other hand, these countries bear heavier burdens due to digital divide phenomenon which may block the road to the fulfillment of Millenium Development Goals in 2015. ICGC 2010 and RC-ICT 2010 facilitate researchers and industry practitioners to share, exchange ideas and experiences, as well as learn about green computing. The joint conference is expected to improve our awareness and understanding about green computing, pave paths towards successful implementation in different contexts and locations, and bring fruitful contributions in making computing more environmentally-friendly.
