Title: The GREEN-NET framework: Energy efficiency in large scale distributed systems
Abstract: The question of energy savings has been a matter of concern since a long time in the mobile distributed systems and battery-constrained systems. However, for large-scale non-mobile distributed systems, which nowadays reach impressive sizes, the energy dimension (electrical consumption) just starts to be taken into account. In this paper, we present the GREEN-NET <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">1</sup> framework which is based on 3 main components: an ON/OFF model based on an Energy Aware Resource Infrastructure (EARI), an adapted Resource Management System (OAR) for energy efficiency and a trust delegation component to assume network presence of sleeping nodes.
