EXIGENCE

integrates measurement, optimisation and incentivisation

to help reduce the overall energy consumption and CO2e of ICT services when provided by expected future ICT ecosystems.

Scroll to objectives section

Three Pillars

Measure

Enabling service-level sustainability measurements across different domains

Optimise

Enabling service provisioning and service invocation resource optimisations

Incentivise

Fair responsibility attribution to service consumers

Vision & Mission

EXIGENCE is committed to reducing the overall energy consumption and carbon-footprint of ICT service delivery. Contrary to existing approaches, which address individual domains, EXIGENCE takes on the behemoth by improving the energy consumption and considering the type of energy sources used by not only the individual tenants in each heterogeneous domain of the ICT value chain but the energy/carbon footprint of the entire ICT ecosystem. The project will conceive a system and define suitable metrics and inter-domain data exposure means for assessing end-to-end ICT service delivery.

Target Impact Areas

EXIGENCE positions itself in the following areas with potentially significant impact:

Energy Efficiency

Efficient energy usage across the entire service chain of the telecommunication networks.

Green Energy

Optimal usage of green energy sources already available and distributed over the network.

Energy Metering

Promote advanced energy metering methods and enable service-level energy measurements.

Energy Business Models

Create an economic model that aligns all players with responsible energy consumption practices.

Energy Reduction

Minimise energy consumption across the full lifecycle of ICT services - from infrastructure, devices to applications and end-user usage.
