Welcome to Part II of the Green Computing Class:

The topics below will be presented by different project groups. Each group will present a 40 minute survey of the topic, followed by class discussion and instructor comments. Two or three papers/articles will be suggested below on each topic as a starter into the survey. From this point on, NO SUMMARIES are requested. Please use the time to make progress on your projects.
