Dynamic power management has been adopted in many systems to reduce the power consumption by changing the system state dynamically. This paper explores energy efficiency for systems equipped with PCI Express devices, which are designed for low power consumption and high performance, compared to corresponding PCI devices. We propose dynamic power management mechanism and a management policy for ...

In this paper, on the basis of Green Comprehensive Plan at Hakim Sabzevari University of Sabzevar, Iran, the application of active solar  systems for the dining hall is evaluated. The impact of solar systems and energy management designed for this hall on energy consumption and environment was investigated.This study measures the electricity and thermal energy consumption of the dining hall , p...

Software energy consumption of mobile terminal plays an important role in the continuous duty and stability of mobile business. Here an energy management model is built based on a multi-layer software structure and is described as a multivariable function of energy consumption. The relation between software characteristics and energy consumption is discussed and analysed. Moreover the paper pre...

Energy consumption of wireless access networks is in permanent increase, which necessitates development of more energy-efficient network management approaches. Such management schemes must result with adaptation of network energy consumption in accordance with daily variations in user activity. In this paper, we consider possible energy savings of wireless local area networks (WLANs) through de...

The impending energy and natural resource crisis forces us to research innovative ways of optimizing our resource consumption. Recent studies have shown that a better understanding of an individual’s energy consumption helps people to lower their energy footprint significantly. We propose SPOTLIGHT, a system that profiles an individual's natural resource consumption pattern in real time using w...

The reduction of the consumed energy in modern selforganizing communication systems in a dense urban environment is a challenging task that requires coordination in management operations for the most effective use of network resources. Configuration and performance optimization tasks affect energy consumption of specific components and energy-related metrics of different devices. We propose a n...
