Green IOT: Principles, Current Trends, Future Directions

Abstract

The two trending and popular technologies are Cloud Computing (CC) and the Internet of Things (IoT) are current hot discussions in the field of agriculture and healthcare applications. Motivated by achieving a sustainable world, this paper discusses various technologies and issues regarding green cloud computing and green Internet of Things, further improves the discussion with the reduction in energy consumption of the two techniques (CC and IoT) combination in agriculture and healthcare systems. The history and concept of the hot green information and communications technologies (ICT’s) which are enabling green IoT will be discussed. Green computing introduction first and later focuses on the recent works done regarding the emerging technologies. Finally, lists out the advantages, challenges, and future research directions related to green application design. Our research aims to make green area broad and contribution to sustainable application world.
