Program

For many decades we have ignored the energy costs of the development of information technology, and now we realise that this field consumes close to 5% of Europe's electrical energy. Thus this talk will discuss how energy and computer and network quality of service (QoS) are intertwined. We will show how trade-offs can be effected to attain minima of cost functions that combine these two factors.
