In this paper, we propose a methodology for real-time characterization of the operational state of a subsystem, device or process in an ecosystem, with the goal of improving its sustainability. The objective is to re-describe the operational state, identified by a set of relevant sensor measurements and other parameters, in terms of known operational patterns. Each pattern is also associated with...
In traditional process design, engineers aim to use man-made technology to solve practical problems. However, the resulting designs are often directly or indirectly dependent on ecosystem goods and services and this is often ignored. Neglecting these invaluable services has led to unsustainable practices through overexploitation of ecosystems. In addition, narrowly focusing on technological solutions...
In this paper, we describe an integrated design and management approach to creating a sustainable IT ecosystem: a physical infrastructure where information technology has been seamlessly interwoven to improve environmental efficiency while achieving lower cost. Specifically, we describe five principles to achieve such integration: ecosystem-scale life-cycle design; scalable and configurable resource...
