Energy efficiency, network performance and users' Quality of Experience in a scalable Future Internet
Summary
Energy efficiency has become a prominent aspect in all areas of Information and Communications Technology (ICT), owing to the increasing concerns about energy consumption of equipment and networks. As regards in particular carrier networks, both wired and wireless, and data centers, a number of different techniques are emerging to make the energy consumption scale adaptively with respect to the traffic load, like dynamic adaptation, smart sleeping, virtualization and consolidation of functionalities and services. However, all actions in this sense have a potential impact on performance, in terms of Quality of Service (QoS) and, ultimately, of the Quality of Experience perceived by the end users. The panel will discuss the various aspects and their mutual roles, and highlight the directions that should lead to a high-performance, scalable and energy-efficient Future Internet.
