Sustainability in a Connected World is the Focus of IEEE Green ICT Conference
February 28th, 2017
With the emergence of the Internet of Things, there’s an urgency to reduce electronic devices’ carbon footprint. In the February issue of The institute, Professor Jaafar Elmirghani, one of the 3 Co-Chairs for the IEEE Green ICT Initiative, talks about ICT opportunities and challenges as it means overcoming technological, economical, and public policy hurdles.
A De-centralized Cloud Could Cushion the Impact of IoT on ICT
February 15th, 2017
Jaafar Elmirghani, one of the 3 Co-Chairs for the IEEE Green ICT Initiative, has published an interesting article for Energy Central that discusses the massive impact that the emerging Internet of Things (IoT) will have in two ways on Information and Communications technology (ICT).
It talks about the increase in sensors and devices and related energy use increase and their applications in many domains, both with impacts on carbon footprint. It considers the end devices and sensors and how processing at the IoT network's edge co
Impact of Data Centers on Electricity and Environment
December 21st, 2016
Several IEEE Green-ICT volunteers have just published in the Journal of Industrial Ecology an analysis on the “Consequences of Future Data Center Deployment in Canada on Electricity Generation and Environmental Impacts: A 2015–2030 Prospective Study”. The environmental impacts of data centers that provide information and communication technologies (ICTs) services are strongly related to electricity generation. With the increasing use of ICT, many data centers are expected to be built, causing more absolute impacts on the environment.
Congrats on the approval of the 9 PARs.
