Environmental sustainability and intelligence as well as general green technologies

Title : Environmental sustainability and intelligence as well as general green technologies

Abstract:

Although the term of green has been often used to refer to energy consumption reduction or energy efficiency by many people and literatures, green actually should refer to environmental sustainability in more general senses. Environmental sustainability issues have been important topics for recent years, which has impacted and will further impact individuals, enterprises, governments, and societies. Environmental sustainability is not simply regarding reducing the amount of waste or using less energy, but relevant to developing processes leading to completely sustainable human society in the future. The long term consequences of the relevant serious issues have not yet been fully forecasted, but it has been generally accepted in many communities that immediate responses are necessary. From 30 November to 12 December 2015, the 21th United Nations Climate Change Conferences of the Parties (COP 21) was held in Paris, France, as the a historical breakthrough and milestone towards securing the future Earth, a global agreement on the reduction of climate change, the text of which represented a consensus of the representatives of more than 193 countries attending it, which was a profound milestone for global environmental sustainability. Nowadays there is another significant tendency on data driven intelligence. This talk would discuss the history, technical issues, challenges, and new trends of data driven environmental sustainability and Intelligence. Further this talk will extend the view to general green technologies.

Biography:

Jinsong Wu received the Ph.D. degree from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Queen’s University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada, in 2006. He received 2020 IEEE Green Communications and Computing Technical Committee Distinguished Technical Achievement Recognition Award, for his outstanding technical leadership and achievement in green wireless communications and networking. He systematically defined the basic concepts and research scope of green communications (2011 and 2022), proposed and analyzed the concept of green big data (2016), early analyzed the relationship between information and communication technology and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (2018), proposed the definition of the concept and scope of general green technologies (2022/2023), and proposed the definition of the concepts of generalized green artificial intelligence (GGAI), generalized red artificial intelligence (GRAI), red big data (RBD), and red information and communication technology (RICT), red digital technologies (RDT), red electronic and electrical engineering (REEE) (2026). He was the leading Editor and a co-author of the comprehensive book, entitled “Green Communications: Theoretical Fundamentals, Algorithms, and Applications", published by CRC Press in September 2012.  He won 2017,2019,2021 IEEE System Journal Best Paper Awards.  He won the 2018 IEEE Green Communications and Computing Technical Committee Best Magazine Paper Award. He was the founder and founding Chair (2011-2017) of IEEE Technical Committee on Green Communications and Computing (TCGCC). He was Chair (2022-2024) and the co-founder (2014) and founding Vice-Chair (2014-2022) of IEEE Technical Committee on Big Data (TCBD).
