A survey on sustainability in ICT: a computing perspective

The rise of the data centers industry, together with the emergence of large cloud computing that require large quantities of resources to be maintained, brought the need of providing a sustainable development process. Through this paper we aim to provide an introductory insight on the status and tools available to tackle this perspective within the evolutionary and genetic algorithms community. Existing advancements are also emphasized and perspectives outlined.
