The Second IFIP Conference on Sustainable Internet and ICT for Sustainability
The Second IFIP Conference on Sustainable Internet and ICT for Sustainability, also known as SustainIT 2012 recently took place in Pisa, Italy, 4-5 October 2012. The conference overview states that:
In the last years, the increasing social awareness about the need for containing energy consumption within sustainable rates has caught the interest of both the industrial and academic communities. In this scenario, Internet - and more generally ICT - may play a twofold role, being both a significant energy consumer and a potential actor in steering a more clever usage of energy resources.
Both aspects of the problem raise interesting scientific challenges, and require a comprehensive effort and inter-disciplinary research at all levels of abstraction. The goal of this conference is to bring together people from different research areas, and provide a forum to exchange ideas, discuss solutions, and share experiences among researchers, professionals, and application developers both from industry and academia.
GreenTouch was represented by Thierry Klein, Head of Green Research at Bell Labs / Alcatel-Lucent, who gave a keynote presentation “Transforming ICT Networks for a Sustainable Future”. The presentation is available for download below.
