Green Information Systems in the Residential Sector
by Philipp WunderlichGiven rising electricity consumption, coupled with finite resources, and a growing awareness surrounding sustainable energy, ICT-enabled electrical networks such as smart grids are increasingly being deployed by energy companies. One aspect of smart grids is smart meter technology (SMT), which are sophisticated digital electrical meters, having the potential to increase energy efficiency in both residential and industrial sectors. However, a challenge to SMT-implementation in residential settings has been its successful adoption by consumers. As many cases in the US, and other parts of the world highlight, such implementation projects have run into resistance from the consumers. Despite these challenges, little research has been conducted on this topic. This study is one of the first that attempts to fill that void by empirically examining the antecedents of SMT adoption amongst potential customers and a group of SMT users. Specifically, this study developed a model surrounding consumers' intention to adopt and use SMT, by drawing on theories of adoption and motivational psychology and also by including a set of context-specific variables.

by Zhenyu Zhou Zheng Chang Haijun LiaoEnergy efficiency issues for green internet of things (IoT) are investigated in this book, from the perspectives of device-to-device (D2D) communications, machine-to-machine (M2M) communications, and air-ground networks. Specifically, critical green IoT techniques from D2D communications in the cellular network to M2M communications in industrial IoT (IIoT), (from single physical-layer optimization to cross-layer optimization, and from single-layer ground networks to stereoscopic air-ground networks) are discussed in both theoretical problem formulation and simulation result analysis in this book.Internet of Things (IoT) offers a platform that enables sensors and devices to connect seamlessly in an intelligent environment, thus providing intelligence services including monitoring systems, industrial automation, and ultimately smart cities. However, the huge potentials of IoT are constrained by high energy consumption, limited battery capacity, and the slow progress of battery technology. The high energy consumption of IoT device causes communication interruption, information loss, and short network lifetime. Moreover, once deployed, the batteries inside IoT devices cannot be replaced in time. Therefore, energy efficient resource allocation is urgent to be investigated to improve the energy efficiency of IoT, facilitate green IoT, and extend the network lifetime.This book provides readers with a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art key technologies, frameworks, related optimization algorithms, and corresponding integrated designs on green IoT. It also presents an easy-to-understand style in a professional manner, making the book suitable for a wider range of readers from students to professionals interested in the green IoT.

Green Machine Learning Protocols for Future Communication Networks
by Saim Ghafoor Mubashir Husain RehmaniMachine learning has shown tremendous benefits in solving complex network problems and providing situation and parameter prediction. However, heavy resources are required to process and analyze the data, which can be done either offline or using edge computing but also requires heavy transmission resources to provide a timely response. The need here is to provide lightweight machine learning protocols that can process and analyze the data at run time and provide a timely and efficient response. These algorithms have grown in terms of computation and memory requirements due to the availability of large data sets. These models/algorithms also require high levels of resources such as computing, memory, communication, and storage. The focus so far was on producing highly accurate models for these communication networks without considering the energy consumption of these machine learning algorithms. For future scalable and sustainable network applications, efforts are required toward designing new machine learning protocols and modifying the existing ones, which consume less energy, i.e., green machine learning protocols. In other words, novel and lightweight green machine learning algorithms/protocols are required to reduce energy consumption which can also reduce the carbon footprint. To realize the green machine learning protocols, this book presents different aspects of green machine learning for future communication networks. This book highlights mainly the green machine learning protocols for cellular communication, federated learning-based models, and protocols for Beyond Fifth Generation networks, approaches for cloud-based communications, and Internet-of-Things. This book also highlights the design considerations and challenges for green machine learning protocols for different future applications.

Green Nudging im E-Commerce: Wie Sie nachhaltige Kaufentscheidungen im Onlinehandel fördern
by Tamara Ebner Julian Sauer Sarah SpitzerDieses Buch bietet einen Einstieg in die Entwicklung und Herausforderungen des nachhaltigen Konsumverhaltens im E-Commerce und zeigt auf, wie mittels Nudging im Onlinehandel bewusster Konsum gefördert werden kann. In den letzten Jahren hat sich ein gesteigertes Interesse an Nachhaltigkeit entwickelt und eine Vielzahl an Konsument:innen äußert die Absicht, bei Kaufentscheidungen vornehmlich ökologischen und sozialen Aspekten mehr Gewicht einzuräumen. In der Praxis lässt sich hingegen häufig beobachten, dass diese Absichten nicht in tatsächliche Handlungen überführt werden. Insbesondere im E-Commerce verleitet das komplexe und vielfältige Angebot dazu, einfache statt bewusste Entscheidungen zu treffen. Digital Green Nudges setzen hier an und können als „Anstupser“ verstanden werden, bei Konsument:innen Verhaltensänderungen zugunsten eines bewussten, ökologischen Konsums zu erwirken. Die Autor:innen liefern einen Überblick der verschiedenen Ausprägungen von Nudging im Allgemeinen und zeigen anhand von Praxisbeispielen auf, wie diese speziell auf den nachhaltigen Onlinehandel übertragen werden können. Der vorgestellte Handlungsleitfaden sowie die Evaluierung des Nudging-Konzepts helfen Onlinehändler:innen, selbst Digital Green Nudges zu konzipieren und deren Einsatz zielorientiert zu gestalten.
