GreenNet 2025

Energy efficiency and sustainability have become of paramount importance in
all human activities, including the information and communication
technology sector. The trade-off between availability, resiliency,
programmability, and energy efficiency of networks and services is a key
challenge for the next decade and monitoring methods and metrics for power
consumption, energy efficiency, as well as sustainability are important, as
well as benchmarking of solutions based on well-defined KPIs. For that
reason, the goal of the GreenNet Workshop is to address emerging concepts
and challenges related to energy efficiency and sustainability for
networked services. An improved sustainability in all parts of the network
in a time of increasing AI/ML usage, evolution of different novel network
access technologies, the spreading of edge computing and micro-data centers
and the demand in computational and data transport capacity across the
edge-cloud continuum is essential.
