Preface
Cloud computing services support sustainability in different ways. For example, the design of more efficient cloud services can contribute in reducing the energy consumption and environmental impact by providing low-cost access to information and services. Similarly, cloud computing services provide citizens, especially those living in vulnerable or underserved communities, a platform to become key actors in a sustainable energy market. In such cloud-based platform, energy services can be dynamically combined to establish service dependencies between energy producers and consumers with the goals of reducing costs, reducing pollution, and bringing electricity to more citizens. The chapters in this book will address conceptual principles and illustrate the latest achievements and development updates concerning sustainable cloud and energy services. This book will serve as a useful reference for advanced undergraduate students, graduate students, and practitioners interested in the design, implementation, and deployment of sustainable cloud-based energy services. The book might be of interest for professionals in the areas of po
