Theme: Cultivation of Ideas (Reflective paper) Title: Repositioning Landscape Architecture: Can Green Infrastructure (GI) support the profession’s evolution? ABSTRACT While scientists continue to debate whether-or-not we have entered...

The environmental impact of doing business becomes an increasingly relevant aspect for organizations, not only because of legal requirements but also because more customers care about. Most organizations, however, do not have comprehensive knowledge on how to restructure their business processes accordingly. In previous work we proposed green business process patterns that address the environme...

The aim of this paper is to propose and evaluate GreenMACC (Green Metascheduler Architecture to Provide QoS in Cloud Computing), an extension of the MACC architecture (Metascheduler Architecture to provide QoS in Cloud Computing) which uses greenIT techniques to provide Quality of Service. The paper provides an evaluation of the performance of the policies in the four stages of scheduling focus...

Developing countries often have access to limited energy resources, which frequently results in power cuts and failures. During these power cuts, enterprises rely on backup sources for power such as uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) and electric generators. This paper proposes AnywareDC, an architecture that builds on the recent work on Anyware [6] to reduce energy utilization in the presenc...

With the aim of configuring next-generation green data centers, we introduce a new system architecture called “Mangrove” that achieves total optimization by vertically integrating servers, storage drives, networks, middleware, and facilities. Mangrove embodies resource pooling and the offloading of control functions to middleware, which are key concepts of the Next-Generation Green Data Center....

In the new era of ICT, cloud computing is in demand. As cloud usage increases day by day, energy consumption required for its infrastructure also increases drastically. So it is critical to study energy consumption in cloud system infrastructure. Green Cloud Computing is the need in industries and research areas. GCC has become critical focus on economic and environmental policies of the countr...

Cloud computing provides utility-oriented IT services to millions of users throughout the world. It offers a very handy, pay-as-you-go model,that enables hosting of pervasive applications from consumer, scientific, and business domains. However, data centers which provides services to customers and host the Cloud applications consume huge amounts of electrical energy, contributing to high opera...

As a research project supported jointly by the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) in Japan and the European Commission under its 7th Framework Program, the GreenICN Project has been in operation from 2013 to 2016. The GreenICN project focused on two typical application scenarios, one a disaster scenario and the other a video delivery scenario. The disaster sc...

With energy and power costs increasing as the size of IT infrastructures grows, virtualization technologies enable scalable management for large scale of virtual machines running on physical systems, and virtualizationbased green cloud computing paradigm is springing up to provide a scalable and energy-efficient network software application (NetApp in short) supplement, consumption, delivery mo...
