Cloud computing has become an emerging technology that offers services based on the pay-as-usage model. The cloud provides several advantages, but these advantages come with challenges, such as reducing Service Level Agreement (SLA) violations, efficient resource utilization, reducing energy...

Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) is a combination of cloud computing in to a mobile environment. It is refers to an infrastructure where data storage and data processing happen outside of the mobile device. MCC is an computing platform located in clouds, which is accessed over the wireless...

The paper presents how connectivity feature integrated into a roof-top solar power system, Inverterless500, designed and developed to electrify off-grid and near off-grid homes in an energy efficient manner, is critical in optimum service delivery, especially for lower income homes. It makes...

Smart vehicles of today on road are equipped with advanced computational units, multiple communication technologies, intelligent sensing platforms, and human-computer interaction devices which utilize Vehicular Edge Networks to support services offered by the remote cloud. This being named as...

The current rapid digital transformation is characterized by an increase in the generation, use and transmission of data, and IT infrastructure, which in turn leads to an increased energy and resource consumption. Therefore in view of the EU Green Deal and related policy strategies, the digital...

The rapid, widespread adoption of cloud computing over the past decade has sparked debates on its environmental impacts. Given that cloud computing alters the dynamics of energy consumption between service providers and users, a complete understanding of the environmental impacts of cloud...

In general, cloud computing focus on the data computing efficiency; green cloud computing is a new thinking which is based on cloud computing architecture and focuses on the energy efficiency of device and computing. Although it is widely claimed that cloud computing is “green” because of...

Increasing concern about energy consumption is leading to infrastructure that supports real-time, two-way communication between utilities and consumers, and allows software systems at both ends to control and manage power use. To manage communications to millions of endpoints in a secure,...
