The energy consumption issue in distributed computing systems
raises various monetary, environmental and system performance
concerns. Electricity consumption in the US doubled from 2000
to 2005. From a financial and environmental standpoint,
reducing the consumption of electricity is important, yet these
reforms must not lead to performance degradation of the computing
systems. These contradicting constraints create a suite of
complex problems that need to be resolved in order to lead to
‘greener’ distributed computing systems. This book brings
together a group of outstanding researchers that investigate the
different facets of green and energy efficient distributed
computing.
Key features:
* One of the first books of its kind
* Features latest research findings on emerging topics by
well-known scientists
* Valuable research for grad students, postdocs, and
researchers
* Research will greatly feed into other technologies and
application domains
