Green in Software Engineering
by Coral Calero Mario PiattiniThis is the first book that presents a comprehensive overview of sustainability aspects in software engineering. Its format follows the structure of the SWEBOK and covers the key areas involved in the incorporation of green aspects in software engineering, encompassing topics from requirement elicitation to quality assurance and maintenance, while also considering professional practices and economic aspects. The book consists of thirteen chapters, which are structured in five parts. First the "Introduction" gives an overview of the primary general concepts related to Green IT, discussing what Green in Software Engineering is and how it differs from Green by Software Engineering. Next "Environments, Processes and Construction" presents green software development environments, green software engineering processes and green software construction in general. The third part, "Economic and Other Qualities," details models for measuring how well software supports green software engineering techniques and for performing trade-off analyses between alternative green practices from an economic perspective. "Software Development Process" then details techniques for incorporating green aspects at various stages of software development, including requirements engineering, design, testing, and maintenance. In closing, "Practical Issues" addresses the repercussions of green software engineering on decision-making, stakeholder participation and innovation management. The audience for this book includes software engineering researchers in academia and industry seeking to understand the challenges and impact of green aspects in software engineering, as well as practitioners interested in learning about the state of the art in Green in Software Engineering.

GreenEdge: New Perspectives to Energy Management and Supply in Mobile Edge Computing (SpringerBriefs in Computer Science)
by Guoming Tang Deke Guo Kui WuThe 5G technology has been commercialized worldwide and is expected to provide superior performance with enhanced mobile broadband, ultra-low latency transmission, and massive IoT connections. Meanwhile, the edge computing paradigm gets popular to provide distributed computing and storage resources in proximity to the users. As edge services and applications prosper, 5G and edge computing will be tightly coupled and continuously promote each other forward. Embracing this trend, however, mobile users, infrastructure providers, and service providers are all faced with the energy dilemma. On the user side, battery-powered mobile devices are much constrained by battery life, whereas mobile platforms and apps nowadays are usually power-hungry. At the infrastructure and service provider side, the energy cost of edge facilities accounts for a large proportion of operating expenses and has become a huge burden. This book provides a collection of most recent attempts to tackle the energy issues in mobile edge computing from new and promising perspectives. For example, the book investigates the pervasive low-battery anxiety among modern mobile users and quantifies the anxiety degree and likely behavior concerning the battery status. Based on the quantified model, a low-power video streaming solution is developed accordingly to save mobile devices' energy and alleviate users' low-battery anxiety. In addition to energy management for mobile users, the book also looks into potential opportunities to energy cost saving and carbon emission reduction at edge facilities, particularly the 5G base stations and geo-distributed edge datacenters.
Greening the Data Center: Opportunities for Improving Data Center Energy Efficiency
by George SpaffordIT organizations are under intense pressure to manage the power consumed by data centers and the resulting cooling demands. To address these needs, IT needs to properly blend people, process and technology to create solutions. In my first Green IT pocket guide, we reviewed governance and processes for Green IT. In this guide we will provide a sample of technical improvement opportunities at a high-level. By doing so, the intent is to foster discussions in your own organization around what should be done first, second, third and so on. The result of this should be a technical implementation roadmap that supports the objectives of Green IT. Indeed, most data centers will not suffer from a lack of opportunities to improve. What is needed is careful planning and deliberate execution to manage power and cooling while continuing to create and protect value for the organization.
Greening through IT: Information Technology for Environmental Sustainability (The\mit Press Ser.)
by Bill TomlinsonHow the tools of information technology can support environmental sustainability by tackling problems that span broad scales of time, space, and complexity.Environmental issues often span long periods of time, far-flung areas, and labyrinthine layers of complexity. In Greening through IT, Bill Tomlinson investigates how the tools and techniques of information technology (IT) can help us tackle environmental problems at such vast scales. Tomlinson describes theoretical, technological, and social aspects of a growing interdisciplinary approach to sustainability, “Green IT,” offering both a human-centered framework for understanding Green IT systems and specific examples and case studies of Green IT in action.Tomlinson descrobes many efforts toward sustainability supported by IT—from fishers in India who maximized the sales potential of their catch by coordinating their activities with mobile phones to the installation of smart meters that optimize electricity use in California households—and offers three detailed studies of specific research projects that he and his colleagues have undertaken: EcoRaft, an interactive museum exhibit to help children learn principles of restoration ecology; Trackulous, a set of web-based tools with which people can chart their own environmental behavior; and GreenScanner, an online system that provides access to environmental-impact reports about consumer products. Taken together, these examples illustrate the significant environmental benefits that innovations in information technology can enable.

Grenzen der KI – theoretisch, praktisch, ethisch (Technik im Fokus)
by Klaus Mainzer Reinhard KahleKünstliche Intelligenz ist eine Schlüsseltechnologie, mit der sowohl in der Wissenschaft als auch in der Industrie große Erwartungen verbunden sind. In diesem Buch werden sowohl die Perspektiven als auch die Grenzen dieser Technologie diskutiert. Das betrifft die praktischen, theoretischen und konzeptionellen Herausforderungen, denen sich die KI stellen muss. In einer Frühphase standen in der KI Expertensysteme im Vordergrund, bei denen mit Hilfe symbolischer Datenverarbeitung regelbasiertes Wissen verarbeitet wurde. Heute wird die KI von statistik-basierten Methoden im Bereich des maschinellen Lernens beherrscht. Diese subsymbolische KI wird an den Lehren, die aus der Frühphase der KI gezogen werden können, gemessen. Als Ergebnis wird vor allem für eine hybride KI argumentiert, die die Potentiale beider Ansätze zur Entfaltung bringen kann.
Grey Game Theory and Its Applications in Economic Decision-Making (Systems Evaluation, Prediction, and Decision-Making)
by Yi Lin Sifeng Liu Zhigeng Fang Hongxing ShiTo make the best decisions, you need the best information. However, because most issues in game theory are grey, nearly all recent research has been carried out using a simplified method that considers grey systems as white ones. This often results in a forecasting function that is far from satisfactory when applied to many real situations. Grey Ga
