Mission

Energy consumption in the Internet architecture is one of the highest operating costs. Energy is becoming even more important due to climate change and sustainability considerations. The advent of 5G mobile-network technology is bringing a significant increase in data traffic and the infrastructure to support it, which consequently will consume more energy. There is proliferation of applications such as the Internet of Things (IoT) benefiting from edge computing solutions, e.g. scalability. However, application's performance lies with not only efficient node-level execution but energy consumption as well as these applications may operate in a low energy computing environment. The energy increase coming from applications and infrastructure calls for action. Network load optimisation and efficient resource management are essential to ensure a reduction in total energy consumption.
