DESCRIPTION
Energy concerns have been developing now for several years, and the ICT domain cannot escape from this trend. In this presentation we will review two aspects of the links between energy and ICT.On the one hand, ICT itself uses a lot of electricity, and work has begun on reducing the consequent economic and ecological costs. On the other hand, ICT plays an important part in improving energy efficiency and reducing costs in the broad area.TRANSCRIPT
