GreenEdge: New Perspectives to Energy Management and Supply in Mobile Edge Computing (SpringerBriefs in Computer Science)
by Guoming Tang Deke Guo Kui WuThe 5G technology has been commercialized worldwide and is expected to provide superior performance with enhanced mobile broadband, ultra-low latency transmission, and massive IoT connections. Meanwhile, the edge computing paradigm gets popular to provide distributed computing and storage resources in proximity to the users. As edge services and applications prosper, 5G and edge computing will be tightly coupled and continuously promote each other forward. Embracing this trend, however, mobile users, infrastructure providers, and service providers are all faced with the energy dilemma. On the user side, battery-powered mobile devices are much constrained by battery life, whereas mobile platforms and apps nowadays are usually power-hungry. At the infrastructure and service provider side, the energy cost of edge facilities accounts for a large proportion of operating expenses and has become a huge burden. This book provides a collection of most recent attempts to tackle the energy issues in mobile edge computing from new and promising perspectives. For example, the book investigates the pervasive low-battery anxiety among modern mobile users and quantifies the anxiety degree and likely behavior concerning the battery status. Based on the quantified model, a low-power video streaming solution is developed accordingly to save mobile devices' energy and alleviate users' low-battery anxiety. In addition to energy management for mobile users, the book also looks into potential opportunities to energy cost saving and carbon emission reduction at edge facilities, particularly the 5G base stations and geo-distributed edge datacenters.
Greening the Data Center: Opportunities for Improving Data Center Energy Efficiency
by George SpaffordIT organizations are under intense pressure to manage the power consumed by data centers and the resulting cooling demands. To address these needs, IT needs to properly blend people, process and technology to create solutions. In my first Green IT pocket guide, we reviewed governance and processes for Green IT. In this guide we will provide a sample of technical improvement opportunities at a high-level. By doing so, the intent is to foster discussions in your own organization around what should be done first, second, third and so on. The result of this should be a technical implementation roadmap that supports the objectives of Green IT. Indeed, most data centers will not suffer from a lack of opportunities to improve. What is needed is careful planning and deliberate execution to manage power and cooling while continuing to create and protect value for the organization.
Greening through IT: Information Technology for Environmental Sustainability (The\mit Press Ser.)
by Bill TomlinsonHow the tools of information technology can support environmental sustainability by tackling problems that span broad scales of time, space, and complexity.Environmental issues often span long periods of time, far-flung areas, and labyrinthine layers of complexity. In Greening through IT, Bill Tomlinson investigates how the tools and techniques of information technology (IT) can help us tackle environmental problems at such vast scales. Tomlinson describes theoretical, technological, and social aspects of a growing interdisciplinary approach to sustainability, “Green IT,” offering both a human-centered framework for understanding Green IT systems and specific examples and case studies of Green IT in action.Tomlinson descrobes many efforts toward sustainability supported by IT—from fishers in India who maximized the sales potential of their catch by coordinating their activities with mobile phones to the installation of smart meters that optimize electricity use in California households—and offers three detailed studies of specific research projects that he and his colleagues have undertaken: EcoRaft, an interactive museum exhibit to help children learn principles of restoration ecology; Trackulous, a set of web-based tools with which people can chart their own environmental behavior; and GreenScanner, an online system that provides access to environmental-impact reports about consumer products. Taken together, these examples illustrate the significant environmental benefits that innovations in information technology can enable.

Grenzen der KI – theoretisch, praktisch, ethisch (Technik im Fokus)
by Klaus Mainzer Reinhard KahleKünstliche Intelligenz ist eine Schlüsseltechnologie, mit der sowohl in der Wissenschaft als auch in der Industrie große Erwartungen verbunden sind. In diesem Buch werden sowohl die Perspektiven als auch die Grenzen dieser Technologie diskutiert. Das betrifft die praktischen, theoretischen und konzeptionellen Herausforderungen, denen sich die KI stellen muss. In einer Frühphase standen in der KI Expertensysteme im Vordergrund, bei denen mit Hilfe symbolischer Datenverarbeitung regelbasiertes Wissen verarbeitet wurde. Heute wird die KI von statistik-basierten Methoden im Bereich des maschinellen Lernens beherrscht. Diese subsymbolische KI wird an den Lehren, die aus der Frühphase der KI gezogen werden können, gemessen. Als Ergebnis wird vor allem für eine hybride KI argumentiert, die die Potentiale beider Ansätze zur Entfaltung bringen kann.
GREP in InDesign
by Peter KahrelUpdated: June 2013. Author Peter Kahrel updated this Short Cut to cover InDesign CC. Several examples have been added, and most examples are now analysed in more detail.Author note: In Adobe InDesign CS6, GREP has not changed at all. Therefore, the information in this title is valid and up to date for CS6.Updated: August 2010. Author Peter Kahrel updated this Short Cut to cover InDesign CS5.Updated: November 2009. Author Peter Kahrel updated this Short Cut to address typos and reader comments.GREP (short for "General Regular-Expression Print") is a powerful tool that lets you use wildcards ("jokers") to search and replace text. InDesign's GREP implementation can be used for text and also for formatting codes, finding patterns in text as well as literal text.GREP moves beyond the restrictions that hampered earlier InDesign search features, but unfortunately it does have the reputation of being difficult to master. As with many things, it can be challenging to learn, but, fortunately, a lot can be done with surprisingly simple expressions. The aim of this Short Cut is to show how to create simple but powerful regular expressions.

However, because most issues in game theory are grey, nearly all recent research has been carried out using a simplified method that considers grey systems as white ones. This often results in a forecasting function that is far from satisfactory when applied to many real situations. Grey Ga
Grid and Cloud Database Management
by Sandro Fiore Giovanni AloisioSince the 1990s Grid Computing has emerged as a paradigm for accessing and managing distributed, heterogeneous and geographically spread resources, promising that we will be able to access computer power as easily as we can access the electric power grid. Later on, Cloud Computing brought the promise of providing easy and inexpensive access to remote hardware and storage resources. Exploiting pay-per-use models and virtualization for resource provisioning, cloud computing has been rapidly accepted and used by researchers, scientists and industries. In this volume, contributions from internationally recognized experts describe the latest findings on challenging topics related to grid and cloud database management. By exploring current and future developments, they provide a thorough understanding of the principles and techniques involved in these fields. The presented topics are well balanced and complementary, and they range from well-known research projects and real case studies to standards and specifications, and non-functional aspects such as security, performance and scalability. Following an initial introduction by the editors, the contributions are organized into four sections: Open Standards and Specifications, Research Efforts in Grid Database Management, Cloud Data Management, and Scientific Case Studies. With this presentation, the book serves mostly researchers and graduate students, both as an introduction to and as a technical reference for grid and cloud database management. The detailed descriptions of research prototypes dealing with spatiotemporal or genomic data will also be useful for application engineers in these fields.
