Green-oriented Never Die Network Management: The concept and design

In this paper, we propose the concept and design of Green-oriented Never Die Network Management Framework for aiming to solve the problem of ICT which is facing global-scale environmental changes such as frequent earthquakes of devastating scale and trend of warm temperature. We will integrate the results of R&D we have been investigating so far: ubiquitous network management, green ICT for information systems based on the regional experiment, and disaster-resistant networks. Through these technologies, we will investigate the world´s first “Green-oriented Never Die Network Management Technology” that will achieve greening (reduction of CO₂ emissions by power saving) of the entire information system and high disaster tolerance at the same time. Our research project (Oct., 2011 - March, 2014) has been promoted under the support of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications of Japan that had started in October 2011.
