Energy Savings on a Cloud-Based Opportunistic Infrastructure

In this paper, we address energy savings on a Cloud-based opportunistic infrastructure. The infrastructure implements opportunistic design concepts to provide basic services, such as virtual CPUs, RAM and Disk while profiting from unused capabilities of desktop computer laboratories in a non-intrusive way. We consider the problem of virtual machines consolidation on the opportunistic cloud comp...

Cost Heterogeneity and the Potential Savings from Market-Based Policies

Policy makers and policy analysts are frequently faced with situations where it is unclear whether market-based instruments hold real promise of reducing costs, relative to conventional command-and-control approaches. We develop rules-of-thumb that can be employed with minimal amounts of information to estimate the potential cost savings associated with marketbased policies, with an application...

Zigbee Based Wireless Energy Surveillance System for Energy Savings

In this paper, zigbee communication based wireless energy surveillance system is presented. The proposed system consists of multiple energy surveillance devices and an energy surveillance monitor. Each different standby power-off value of electric device is set automatically by using learning function of energy surveillance device. Thus adaptive standby power-off function provides user convenie...
