Motivation of GSLA Research Sample Clauses

Motivation of GSLA Research. Green ICT is a rising topics in recent time. It constitutes a new term in the science of information that describes the utilization of informatics through providing and interacting various services in the interest of the natural environment and the natural resources regarding sustainability and sustainable development. Presently, ICT has introduced the convergence of services with broadband network infrastructure, wireless technologies and mobile devices. The revolution of ICTs introduction in daily average life has also resulted in the increase of Green House Gas (GHG), since the “carbon footprint’’ is continually increasing. At 2007, the ICT sector produced as much GHG as the aero industry and is projected to grow rapidly [1]. Presently, data centres and cloud computing industry around the world provide various levels of services and at the same time, they produce huge amount of carbon. As estimated in 2008 that world-wide data centres emit 116 million metric tons of carbon, more than entire country of Nigeria [1] and according to SMART 2020 report share of data centers in the production of GHG emission is rising (2002 – 14%, 2020 – 18%) [9]. Green SLA research would help to show that most of existing green SLAs are mainly focused on energy/ power, carbon footprint, green energy, recycling issues. Additionally, several existing green SLA also demonstrated their productivity issues with necessary monitoring unit and all these existing green SLA work are based on cloud computing industry. Most of the recent days green SLAs are provided by some well know data center around the world for their services. The main motive of these data centers is to make profit. It will be worth to introduce new green SLA in these data centers with compromising some QoS parameters and profit. If ICT has a negative impact on environment, it can be used for greening the other human activities (logistic, city, industry etc) in the society. Indeed, the dimensions of Green ICT contribution are: the reduction of energy consumption, the rise of environmental awareness, the effective communication for environmental issues and the environmental monitoring and surveillance systems, as a means to protect and restore natural ecosystems potential [10]. Currently, many IT companies or service providers think about their business scope in the light of green perspective. Therefore, with the increased attention that green informatics is playing within our society it is timely to not only conduc...

  • Workforce Development MPC’s technical training program is having a major impact in the region. Online modules, short courses, webinars, and on site/videoconferencing events are reaching state and local transportation department employees and tribal transportation planners. By harnessing the capabilities of the four LTAP centers located at the MPC universities and the multimedia capabilities of the Transportation Learning Network (which was founded and is partly funded by MPC) more than 76 technical training events were offered in the second half of 2015. These training modules and short courses are critical to transportation agencies that need to improve or renew the skills of engineering technicians and other frontline workers. Many MPC courses or training events result in the certification of workers. Even when certification is not required, TLN’s online learning management systems allow employees and employers to set learning goals and monitor progress towards these goals. MPC is making another major impact in workforce development. Altogether, 57 graduate students are working on MPC research projects under the tutelage of faculty researchers. These graduate students represent the researchers and technical analysts of tomorrow. Without the MPC program and the stipend funds that it provides, these students may not be specializing in transportation; but, instead would be seeking career opportunities in other fields. The MPC research program allows faculty to mentor graduate students while allowing the students to work on projects for federal and state transportation agencies—thereby, gaining valuable practical experience.
