Abstract (300 words maximum)
Smart technologies are everywhere and the advent of a smart world, from smart devices to smart cities is hastily growing to potentially improve quality of life. The features and services users of smart devices expect to rely on large amounts of data processed at data centers. Those centers potentially devour massive quantities of electricity and their expansion can be unsustainable due to an increased emission of greenhouse gasses. As smart technologies depend closely on such computing power their sustainability is crucial for a smart future. This paper explores the literature to: become aware of the troubles; categorize the demanding situations in addition to feasible solutions; discover how simulation and low-energy parallel scheduling algorithms can enhance computational sustainability.
