      abstract = {"The energy consumption issue in distributed computing  systems raises various monetary, environmental and system  performance concerns. Electricity consumption in the US  doubled from 2000 to 2005. From a financial and  environmental standpoint, reducing the consumption of  electricity is important, yet these reforms must not lead  to performance degradation of the computing systems. These  contradicting constraints create a suite of complex  problems that need to be resolved in order to lead to  'greener' distributed computing systems. This book brings  together a group of outstanding researchers that  investigate the different facets of green and energy  efficient distributed computing.Key features: One of the  first books of its kind Features latest research findings  on emerging topics by well-known scientists Valuable  research for grad students, postdocs, and researchers  Research will greatly feed into other technologies and  application domains "--},
