Title: Green Computing and Communication Systems
Overview: Energy, with its intimate linkages to environment and economy, is perhaps the single most important challenge facing our planet. Moreover, Information Technology (IT) - our computing, communication, sensing, and control systems - has emerged both as a part of the problem with a large worldwide IT carbon footprint, as well as a part of the solution by enabling more efficient use of energy in other human-cyber-physical systems at different scales, such as building, cars, electrical grHomeid, and water networks. This course explores technologies that span these two complementary aspects of IT systems in energy sustainability:
Designing Green IT Systems
IT for Making Other Systems Green
Design principles and challenges in creating energy-efficient computing and communication systems at different scales:
Computing, communications, and sensing/actuation for making various energy-consuming human-cyber-physical systems more efficient:
