Drawing from todays best-in-class solutions, we identify power-saving strategies that have succeeded in the past and look forward to new ideas and paradigms. We strongly believe that designing energy-efficient network equipment can be…
Despite the growing necessity to make Internet greener, it is worth pointing out that energy-aware strategies to minimize network energy consumption must not undermine the normal network operation. In particular, two very important issues…
The increasing environmental impact of the telecom industry has heightened the need for sustainable telecommunications networks. With skyrocketing data traffic and 5G gaining a foothold, telecom operators are under pressure to sustain…
Over the last decade we have witnessed an increasing use of data processing in embedded systems. Where in the past the data processing was limited (if present at all) to the handling of a small number of "on-off control signals", more…
Beijing Daxing International Airport has been promoted as a model of green infrastructure under China's ecological modernization agenda. Featuring energy-efficient design, renewable energy systems, and smart environmental controls, the…
The performance of accelerators profits from phase space tailoring by coupling of planes. The previously applied techniques swap the emittances among the three planes but the set of available emittances is fixed. In contrast to these…
With the increasing market penetration of battery-electric buses into urban bus networks, practitioners face many novel planning problems. As a result, the interest in optimization-based decision-making for these planning problems increases…
The carbon footprint concern in the development and deployment of 5G new radio systems has drawn the attention to several stakeholders. In this article, we analyze the critical power consuming component of all candidate 5G system…
High-frequency bands such as millimeter-wave and terahertz require narrow beams due to path loss and shadowing. Beam alignment (BA) methods allow the transceivers to adjust the directions of these beams efficiently by exploiting the channel…
Data traffic over wireless communication networks has experienced a tremendous growth in the last decade, and it is predicted to exponentially increase in the next decades. Enabling future wireless networks to fulfill this expectation is a…
In today's modern communications, with evolution of various applications, the demand of data rate is increasing exponentially at the cost of huge consumption of available resources. It has been recorded that the communication networks…
The increasing recognition of the association between adverse human health conditions and many environmental substances as well as processes has led to the need to monitor them. An important problem that arises in environmental statistics…
This paper summarizes the operational challenges imposed by integration of renewable electricity generation units in transmission level where the most common renewable generation units are solar and wind farms at the scale of 100s to 1000s…
One of the most severe limitations in particle accelerators and beam transport are non-linear effects. Techniques to study and possibly suppress some of these detrimental effects exist, the most popular are based on particle tracking and…
We review the research literature investigating systems in which mobile entities can carry data while they move. These entities can be either mobile by nature (e.g., human beings and animals) or mobile by design (e.g., trains, airplanes,…
The online bin packing problem and its variants are regularly used to model server allocation problems. Modern concerns surrounding sustainability and overcommitment in cloud computing motivate bin packing models that capture costs…
The Internet of Things (IoT) can support the evolution towards a digital and green future. However, the introduction of the technology clearly has in itself a direct adverse ecological impact. This paper assesses this impact at both the…
In Japan, China and Russia, there are several test beam lines available or will become available in near future. Those are open for users who need electron, muon and charged pion beams with energies of 1-50 GeV for any tests of small-size…
Large sensor-based infrastructures for radio astronomy will be among the most intensive data-driven projects in the world, facing very high power demands. The geographically wide distribution of these infrastructures and their associated…
While ray tracing has become increasingly common and path tracing is well understood by now, a major challenge lies in crafting an easy-to-use and efficient system implementing these technologies. Following a purely physically-based…
