Both mobile and cloud computing are two areas which are rapidly expanding in terms of use case and functionality.Both mobile and cloud computing are two areas which are rapidly expanding in terms of use case and functionality. This paper reviews current work in energy consumption of mobile cloud computing and then proposes a system whereby user applications may be profiled for their resource co...

User cooperation for spectrum sensing in cognitive radios has been proposed in order to improve the overall performance by mitigating multi-path fading and shadowing experienced by the users. However, user cooperation results in high energy consumption, extra time for results exchange, as well as delay and security risks. In this paper, we investigate the effects of cooperative spectrum sensing...

In recent years, designing “energy-aware manufacturing scheduling and control systems” has become more and more complex due to the increasing volatility and unpredictability of energy availability, supply and cost, and thus requires the integration of highly reactive behavior in control laws. The aim of this paper is to propose a Potential Fields-based flexible manufacturing control system that...

Energy efficiency is a keyword that can be found nowadays in all domains in which energy demand exists. The steadily rising energy demand, the consequent energy scarcity and rising prices of energy resources are forcing companies and people to redefine their activities in a more energy efficient way. Besides industry and transportation, the building sector is the most important energy consumer,...

for over the past several decades, there has been a great concern about energy crisis and lackof non-renewable resources. residential buildings take more than 25% of the total energy consumption and morethan 75% of energy consumption in these buildings is for heating, cooling and hot sanitary water. on the other hand,traditional buildings of iran were designed according to ecological conditions...

—Computing resources in cloud computing with heterogeneous, dynamic, non-balancing and other features, how to allocate resources to fully improve resource utilization and reduce task execution time and energy consumption optimization is the key problem to be faced in cloud computing. According to the basic characteristics of task scheduling in cloud computing environment, this paper proposes a...

Due to non inheritable restriction of sensors, there is always a vital issue on the way to utilize restricted energy effectively. In the proposed work we have focused on the Energy Consumption in WSN Using Mobile Sink and Hierarchal Clustering. There is concept of bringing mobile sinks to sensing field to save energy of cluster heads while sending data to mobile sinks instead of fixed sink on b...

Energy efficiency has become an important measurement of scheduling algorithm for private cloud. The challenge is trade-off between minimizing of energy consumption and satisfying Quality of Service (QoS) (e.g. performance or resource availability on time for reservation request). We consider resource needs in context of a private cloud system to provide resources for applications in teaching a...

the purpose of this research is to found the impact of built area and occupant number on winter gas consumption in the residential building sector of iran, shiraz.sothe annually and monthly gas consumption data through 19 houses were analyzed to achieve the heating energy consumption and operation month.the average operation months of gas heating consumption were from first of november up to en...

in this research, industrial wastewater treatment plants (iwwtps) were investigated and categorized by effluent applications and electrical energy cost. for the purpose of this research, 51 plants were assessed and results indicate that 17 plants discharged the effluent directly to the surface water that most of them are located in north of iran, 24 plants used the effluent for irrigation. othe...
