Description & Coverage
Description:

One way to reduce the greenhouse gas from IT is green computing, which is the practice of designing, manufacturing, using, and disposing of computers, servers, and associated subsystems for reducing the use of hazardous materials, maximizing energy efficiency, and promoting the recyclability or biodegradability of products.

Sustainable ICTs and Management Systems for Green Computing focuses on information technology using sustainable green computing to reduce energy and resources used. While there are a wide variety of green computing topics, this book is a collection of IT articles using green computing techniques that will provide timely, important technologies and methods of green computing to IT workers, students, and researchers alike.

Coverage:

The many academic areas covered in this publication include, but are not limited to:

  • E-Invoicing
  • Energy Auto Tuning
  • Energy-Aware Information Systems
  • Green Computing Education
  • Green IT
  • ICT Enabling
  • Mobile Device Reuse
  • Power Management
  • Supply Chain Environmental Performance
  • Video Compression
Reviews & Statements

The 18 papers in this volume address the need to monitor the energy and resources consumed by the information and communication technology industry, and identify ways computers can support environmental practices. German researchers propose a self-optimizing technique for IT infrastructures that automatically tunes the energy efficiency of IT systems, and Japanese researchers present algorithms for selecting a server from a cluster that reduces total power consumption. Other topics include multidimensional analysis of supply chain environmental performance, mitigating the environmental impact of smartphones with device reuse, video compression for portable and low-power applications, and a hybrid energy system based on photovoltaic and fuel cells.

In addition, he has acted as more than 200 positions like editors and editorial board members of international journals/books and program committee members of international conferences. Dr. Hu has been teaching for more than 25 years at the US universities and about 20 different computer/IT-related courses and advising/consulting more than 100 graduate students. He has published about 200 articles in refereed journals, conference proceedings, books, and encyclopedias, edited more than 10 books and conference proceedings, and solely authored a book. His current research interests include (mobile) data research and applications.
Naima Kaabouch received her B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. all in Electrical Engineering from the University of Paris 11 and the University of Paris 6, Paris, France, in 1982, 1986, 1990, respectively. She is currently an Assistant Professor, in the Department of Electrical Engineering, University of North Dakota. Dr. Kaabouch's research interests include configurable computing, real time systems, and signal/image processing. She published over 80 articles on refereed journal, proceedings, and books. In the green computing field, she is the co-editod two books. While teaching, she developed and taught several courses in the field of configurable computing and real time systems involving microcontrollers and Field Programmable Gate Array devices-based devices.
