Reviews and Testimonials
"Green computing and environmental sustainability are evolving doubtlessly to key factors in global businesses of the 21st century. Their implementation changes the negative impact on the planet's environment and simultaneously affects business costs. The International Journal of Green Computing (IJGC) offers here an excellent scientific stage for sharing and discussing these promising topics. It is a great source not only for students and researchers but also for entrepreneurs and CEO's in the industries."
– Markus Heck, SAP AG, Germany, and Günter Schmidt, University of Liechtenstein, Liechtenstein
I was drafting the plans for a collaborative Industry-Academia research on Transportation Planning and Scheduling when my thoughts veered to the International Journal of Green Computing (IJGC). Our major goal is to address the challenges of greener transportation and logistics - a major global challenge. I think the IJGC is creating the right support for such Green initiatives. Several of the papers in recent volumes have made remarkable contributions to the general theme of innovations in design and resource utilization. In particular they address both IT for Green and Green IT, subjects that we work on.
– Siddhartha SenGupta, Tata Consultancy Services Limited, Mumbai, India
In the present day, environmental issues have gained prominence because of the recent recognition of the roles they play in the growth process. International Journal of Green Computing (IJGC) provides an important avenue for researchers and practitioners to present and evaluate theoretically and/or empirically, issues relating to the environment in a concise manner relevant to the global economies. I have no reservation in recommending the journal to all economic scholars.
– Funso Ayadi, University of Lagos, Nigeria.
My research area include topics in the Reverse Logistics and Sustainability. Due to the interesting papers published in the IJGC I have recommended strongly to my PhD students to consult it in order to improve and update their literature review with the very relevant scientific papers that are available in this important Journal.
– Fernando Augusto Silva Marins, Sao Paulo State University - Brazil
Environmental thinking and sustainable development are increasingly important issues in manufacturing and service industries both globally and locally. The International Journal of Green Computing (IJGC) provides a platform for research contributions, constructive debates, and investigations–IJGC opens new perspectives to these topics. I am convinced that IJGC will add great value for academic audience, intermediary organizations, and managers in the industries.
– Matti Muhos, Oulu Southern institute, Finland.
International Journal of Green Computing is a novel venture that resolves to bring the key issues in environment due to the changing Global scenario to the forefront. This journal strives to bring out the latest advances in the ecological issues in the domain of environment. The quality of the language used in this IJGC is of Global Standards. I have great pleasure in recommending this IJGC to the researchers and scholars who are very much inclined to comprehend the latest trends in the field of Green Computing.
– Lee, Tzong-Ru (Jiun-Shen), National Chung Hsing University, Taiwan
Green computing is rapidly evolving to accommodate computing projects in variety of new technologies including Carbon foot printing, Solar, Lead-Free product development, toxic waste reduction, Energy efficiency etc. The International Journal of Green Computing is serving the global audience with latest developments and up to date research information in this emerging field. Also, the journal provides a platform for the students, academia and research community in sharing and promoting the dialogue in the need of the hour technology in Green computing.
– Professor Immanuel Edinbarough, The University of Texas at Brownsville, And Texas Southmost college, USA
