Internet of Things (IoT) Application in Green Computing: An Overview

Abstract

The aim of the paper is to investigate the application domain of the Internet of Things (IoT) for efficient and sustained Green Computing (GC). The essence of this research attributes to many IoT and GC issues that need to be addressed in the creation and maintenance of smart society. A lack of strict adherence to these factors may hamper the very application domain of IoT and threatens their environmental sustainability. An effort is made to segment the entire application domain of IoT-based GC (IoTGC) into five relevant categories for better understanding and clarity. These segments are based on factors such as hardware, software, policy, awareness, and recycling. Detail investigations have been made on these segments to highlight the potential issues that may benefit future researchers in this field.
