Abstract
****************************************
Fueled by burgeoning online services, power and thermal issues are
becoming a substantial issue in terms of cost and environmental impact
both on the server (or data center) side and client side. In this talk,
we shall motivate an approach that puts energy, power, thermal and
sustainability issues at the heart of distributed computing, and strives
to dynamically optimize energy consumption based on demands and supply
limitations. The talk shall lay out significant challenges in realizing
the vision and show some results on how a coordinated power management at
multiple levels can help in a graceful QoS degradation in order to adapt
to the given energy budgets.

Bio
****************************************
Dr. Krishna Kant is currently a visiting research professor at Center for
Secure Information Systems at George Mason University, and also serving as
a program director in the CISE/CNS division of the National Science
Foundation. His current areas of research include power/thermal issues in
data centers, robustness in the domain name service, and cloud computing
security. He received his Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from University
of Texas at Dallas in 1981 and has since held several positions in
academia and industry.
