Data transfer is an indispensable step that is widely involved in the maintenance and processing of Cloud data. Due to rapid growth in Cloud data, methods of reducing the huge energy consumption of data transfer in the Cloud have become a challenge. In this paper, we propose a novel energy-efficient data transfer strategy called LRCDT (Link Rate Controlled Data Transfer). By scheduling bandwidt...

Low energy consumption is a major design constraint for battery operated embedded systems such as wireless sensor networks or WSN. Low energy is more important compared to low power for such systems as it will increase lifetime of the system. The major component which can reduce energy is to reduce delay. WSN motes must power sensors, a processor, and a radio for wireless communication over lon...

Task consolidation is a way to maximize utilization of cloud computing resources. Maximizing resource utilization provides various benefits such as the rationalization of maintenance , IT service customization, and QoS and reliable services. However, maximizing resource utilization does not mean efficient energy use. Much of the literature shows that energy consumption and resource utilization ...

Aiming at the task allocation in multi-target tracking of wireless sensor networks, the discrete particle swarm optimization based on nearest-neighbor is presented to reduce the communication energy consumption between nodes. First, task allocation is initialized with nearest neighbor algorithm. Then the fitness function is compared through change task allocation matrix to achieve task allocati...

the purpose of this research is to found the impact of built area and occupant number on winter gas consumption in the residential building sector of iran, shiraz.sothe annually and monthly gas consumption data through 19 houses were analyzed to achieve the heating energy consumption and operation month.the average operation months of gas heating consumption were from first of november up to en...

Routing is an important challenge in WSN due to the presence of hundreds or thousands of sensor nodes. Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy (LEACH) is a hierarchical routing and data dissemination protocol. LEACH divides a network domain into several sub-domains that are called clusters. Non-uniformity of cluster distribution and CHs selection without considering the positions of other sens...

Utilization of mobile and embedded devices, and thus their induced energy consumption, is constantly increasing. Reducing the energy consumption of such devices will not only improve the carbon footprint of contemporary mobile information technology usage, but will also extend the device lifetime, improve user acceptance and reduce operational costs. Next to serious and ongoing efforts in hardw...

This study describes three different data mining techniques for detecting abnormal lighting energy consumption using hourly recorded energy consumption and peak demand (maximum power) data. Two outliers’ detection methods are applied to each class and cluster for detecting abnormal consumption in the same data set. In each class and cluster with anomalous consumption the amount of variation fro...

Networks-on-Chips (NoCs) are required not only to provide ultra-low latency, but also to consume as little energy as possible. Because higher energy consumption leads to decreased mission duration, increased heat dissipation and decreased reliability. This paper exploit the well-known Dynamic Voltage Scaling (DVS) technique to reduce consumed energy in an application specific NoC without any pe...
