All You Can Stream: Investigating the Role of User Behaviour for Greenhouse Gas Intensity of Video Streaming
Scope The scope of this paper is to examine the environmental impact of video streaming by integrating life cycle assessment (LCA) with user behaviour analysis through an online survey. It highlights the importance of considering technological factors and user decisions, such as device choice, streaming duration, and resolution, in sustainability assessments and offers some valuable […]
The Electricity- and CO2-Saving Potentials Offered by Regulation of European Video-Streaming Services
Scope The scope of this paper is to assess the impact of technical standards and regulatory interventions on the electricity consumption and CO2 emissions of video streaming in Europe until 2030 by modeling three scenarios (baseline, optimistic, pessimistic). Summary Madlener et al. quantify the impact that technical standards and regulatory interventions can have on the […]
Reducing the Individual Carbon Impact of Video Streaming: A Seven-Week Intervention Using Information, Goal Setting, and Feedback
Scope The paper investigates the effectiveness of information, goal setting, and feedback in encouraging individuals to reduce the carbon footprint of video streaming, through a seven-week online intervention. Summary Seger et al. present a seven-week online intervention study to assess the effectiveness of information, goal setting, and feedback on reducing the carbon footprint of individual […]
A Greener Experience: Trade-offs between QoE and CO2 Emissions in Today’s and 6G Networks
Scope The paper examines the trade-off between video streaming Quality of Experience (QoE) and CO2 emissions, introducing the concept of a “green user” who accepts lower video quality for reduced emissions. Summary Hoßfeld et al. quantify and illustrate the trade-off between the QoE of video streaming services and CO2 emissions. The paper considers a “green user,” […]
A Survey of Contract Theory-Based Incentive Mechanism Design in Wireless Networks
Scope The scope of the paper is to explore contract theory principles and their applications in designing incentive-based mechanisms for wireless networks. Summary The article of Zhang et al. deals with the main principles of contract theory and with important related issues, as well with applications thereof to the design of incentives-based mechanisms for wireless networks. […]
Optimal Coordination Contracts for Manufacturer and Streamer Joint Emission Reduction and Low-Carbon Publicity in a Live-Streaming Supply Chain
Scope The scope of the paper is to analyse incentive mechanisms for emission reduction in the live-streaming supply chain, focusing on the interaction between streamers and manufacturers. It develops a two-echelon game model to evaluate how different contract schemes impact emission reduction and profitability. Summary Peng et al. examine optimal coordination contracts to incentivise manufacturers to […]
Optimisation of Electricity Pricing Considering Neural Network based Model of Consumers’ Demand Response
Scope This work develops an AI-driven dynamic pricing model for electricity consumption. It examines various tariff structures—block rate, seasonal, time-of-use (including critical peak pricing), and real-time pricing—to incentivise consumers to adjust their usage patterns, thereby reducing peak demand and associated costs. Summary In (Holtschneider et al, 2013) the authors concern models for incentivising consumer behaviour […]
Dynamic Pricing for Car-Sharing Systems Reduces CO2 Emissions
Scope In (Müller et al, 2024) the authors investigate a dynamic pricing approach for free-floating car-sharing systems. The study aims to minimise the need for operator-initiated vehicle relocations by rebalancing car distribution through location-dependent pricing. The model uses historical data and stochastic dynamic programming to predict future vehicle movements and determine optimal prices, which in […]
Dynamic Pricing Models for Electronic Business
Scope The survey in (Narahari et al, 2005) provides a broad overview of models that can be employed for dynamic pricing. Summary First, it is demonstrated that dynamic pricing may be used in different forms, dependent on the application at hand. For Instance, it may refer to the fact that different people may pay […]
Dynamic Decision-Making and Coordination of Low-Carbon Closed-Loop Supply Chain Considering Different Power Structures and Government Double Subsidy
Scope In (Zhang and Yu, 2023) develops three-level differential game models for a Low Carbon Closed-Loop Supply Chain (LC-CLSC) that includes manufacturers, retailers, and the government. Its purpose is to guide these stakeholders in making optimal decisions regarding pricing, emission reduction, and recycling investments, while also helping governments set effective subsidies for emission reduction and […]
