Sustainability-Aware Cloud Computing Using Virtual Carbon Tax
Fereydoun Farrahi Moghaddam, Mohamed Cheriet
In this paper, a solution for sustainable cloud system is proposed and then implemented on a real testbed. The solution composes of optimization of a profit model and introduction…
Combined A*-Ants Algorithm: A New Multi-Parameter Vehicle Navigation Scheme
Hojjat Salehinejad, Hossein Nezamabadi-pour, Saeid Saryazdi +1
In this paper a multi-parameter A*(A- star)-ants based algorithm is proposed in order to find the best optimized multi-parameter path between two desired points in regions. This al…
Dynamic Bandwidth-Efficient BCube Topologies for Virtualized Data Center Networks
Vahid Asghari, Reza Farrahi Moghaddam, Mohamed Cheriet
Network virtualization enables computing networks and data center (DC) providers to manage their networking resources in a flexible manner using software running on physical comput…
A Graph-based Perspective to Total Carbon Footprint Assessment of Non-marginal Technology-driven Projects - Use case of OTT/IPTV
Reza Farrahi Moghaddam, Fereydoun Farrahi Moghaddam, Mohamed Cheriet
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of green and sustainable projects has been found to be a necessary analysis in order to include all upstream, downstream, and indirect impacts. Because…
A Multi-Entity Input Output (MEIO) Approach to Sustainability - Water-Energy-GHG (WEG) Footprint Statements in Use Cases from Auto and Telco Industries
Reza Farrahi Moghaddam, Fereydoun Farrahi Moghaddam, Mohamed Cheriet
A new Input-Output model, called the Multi-Entity Input-Output (MEIO) model, is introduced to estimate the responsibility of entities of an ecosystem on the footprint of each other…
Challenges and complexities in application of LCA approaches in the case of ICT for a sustainable future
Reza Farrahi Moghaddam, Fereydoun Farrahi Moghaddam, Thomas Dandres +3
In this work, three of many ICT-specific challenges of LCA are discussed. First, the inconsistency versus uncertainty is reviewed with regard to the meta-technological nature of IC…
A Monte-Carlo Approach to Lifespan Failure Performance Analysis of the Network Fabric in Modular Data Centers
Reza Farrahi Moghaddam, Vahid Asghari, Fereydoun Farrahi Moghaddam +2
Data centers have been evolved from a passive element of compute infrastructure to become an active, core part of any ICT solution. In particular, modular data centers (MDCs), whic…
IIGHGINT: A generalization to the modified GHG intensity universal indicator toward a production/consumption insensitive border carbon tax
Reza Farrahi Moghaddam, Fereydoun Farrahi Moghaddam, Mohamed Cheriet
A global agreement on how to reduce and cap human footprint, especially their GHG emissions, is very unlikely in near future. At the same time, bilateral agreements would be ineffi…
Computer Simulation of 3-D Finite-Volume Liquid Transport in Fibrous Materials: a Physical Model for Ink Seepage into Paper
Reza Farrahi Moghaddam, Fereydoun Farrahi Moghaddam, Mohamed Cheriet
A physical model for the simulation ink/paper interaction at the mesoscopic scale is developed. It is based on the modified Ising model, and is generalized to consider the restrict…
Unsupervised ensemble of experts (EoE) framework for automatic binarization of document images
Reza Farrahi Moghaddam, Fereydoun Farrahi Moghaddam, Mohamed Cheriet
In recent years, a large number of binarization methods have been developed, with varying performance generalization and strength against different benchmarks. In this work, to lev…
Curved Space Optimization: A Random Search based on General Relativity Theory
Fereydoun Farrahi Moghaddam, Reza Farrahi Moghaddam, Mohamed Cheriet
Designing a fast and efficient optimization method with local optima avoidance capability on a variety of optimization problems is still an open problem for many researchers. In th…
The BlueNetwork Concept
Reza Farrahi Moghaddam, Fereydoun Farrahi Moghaddam, Mohamed Cheriet
Most of energy efficiency and carbon reduction initiatives and concepts attempt to regulate and optimize machines behavior, and therefore, human behavior itself is left neglected.…
A Modified GHG Intensity Indicator: Toward a Sustainable Global Economy based on a Carbon Border Tax and Emissions Trading
Reza Farrahi Moghaddam, Fereydoun Farrahi Moghaddam, Mohamed Cheriet
It will be difficult to gain the agreement of all the actors on any proposal for climate change management, if universality and fairness are not considered. In this work, a univers…
