Cloud computing is a model for providing computing resources as a utility which faces
several challenges on management of virtualized resources. Accordingly, virtual machine …

With the development of wireless technology, various emerging mobile applications are
attracting significant attention and drastically changing our daily lives. Applications such as …

Data centers can go green by saving electricity in two major areas: computing and cooling.
Servers in data centers require a constant supply of cold air from on-site cooling …

Mitigating energy consumption in Clouds reduces operational costs for providers. Power
management policies which aim to reduce total energy consumed in data-centers pose …

The elasticity afforded by cloud computing allows consumers to dynamically request and
relinquish computing and storage resources and pay for them on a pay-per-use basis. Cloud …

Data center servers located in thermal hotspot regions receive inlet air at a higher than the
set temperature and thus generate comparatively high outlet temperature. Consequently …

In smartphones and tablets, a number of components, such as display and communication
subsystem, dissipate a significant amount of heat. This influences the SoC thermal …

Exorbitant energy expenses can supersede data center profits. Electricity prices often vary
across the geographic regions, caused by gaps in the supply-demand, time of use, and …

A rise in inlet air temperature may lower the rate of heat dissipation from air cooled
computing servers. This introduces a thermal stress to these servers. As a result, the poorly …

Cloud providers are typically hierarchically organized into interconnected data centers, each
with a collection of racks of servers organized into clusters. The communication cost …
