This project catalyzes a new collaboration in the area of green computing between the PI Bein of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas and Dr. Hito Ito of the University of Electro-Communications, Tokyo as well as engineers at Panasonic Japan. The collaboration focuses on applying algorithmic ideas in the area of sustainability. Power management and energy-efficient computing are ever more important, given the exponential growth in the number of information technology devices worldwide. Japan?s Green IT Initiative has focused especially on advanced control and management enabled by IT and electronics. Japan has now a lead position in this area. One of the goals of the planning visit is to set a foundation for future collaborative research and mutual technology transfer. An important component of this project is student involvement, with the PI?s Ph.D. student participating in the planning visit to enhance professional development and enable fuller participation in follow-up research. Specific areas for investigations are power-down problems, speed scaling mechanisms and smart algorithms for alternative energy management and storage. Energy conservation and management involves decision making in complex situations and with incomplete information about the future. Thus, it is natural to study such problems in the framework of game theoretic and online competitive models. The proposed new U.S.-Japanese collaboration seeks to tackle a number of difficult problems in the area of online algorithms, with great potential for impact in application areas, and along the way we expect to find general paradigms for online algorithms. It is expected that techniques developed by the proposer such as the knowledge state method, tracklessness, and task system analysis will complement the Japanese host?s research in green computing with a focus on consumer electronics applications.

该项目促进了拉斯维加斯内华达州大学PI Bein和东京电子通信大学的Hito Ito博士以及日本松下公司工程师之间在绿色计算领域的新合作。 此次合作的重点是将算法思想应用于可持续发展领域。鉴于全球信息技术设备数量的指数级增长，电源管理和节能计算变得越来越重要。 日本吗？的绿色IT计划特别关注由IT和电子技术实现的高级控制和管理。日本目前在这方面处于领先地位。规划访问的目标之一是为未来的合作研究和相互技术转让奠定基础。这个项目的一个重要组成部分是学生参与，与PI？博士学位学生参与规划访问，以加强专业发展，使更充分地参与后续研究。 研究的具体领域包括断电问题、速度缩放机制以及用于替代能源管理和存储的智能算法。能源节约和管理涉及在复杂情况下以及对未来信息不完整的情况下做出决策。因此，这是自然的，在博弈论和在线竞争模型的框架内研究这些问题。 新的美国-日本的合作旨在解决在线算法领域的一些难题，这些难题在应用领域具有巨大的影响潜力，并且沿着我们期望找到在线算法的一般范例。 预计由提议者开发的技术，如知识状态法，无轨，任务系统分析将补充日本主机？公司在绿色计算方面的研究，重点是消费电子产品的应用。
