Bakker, Yannick (author)The research and design hypothesize how data centers can complement the urban environment rather than make a negative impact, both environmentally and spatially. Data centers consume and produce a variety of valuable flows, ranging from electricity, cooling/heating and water use. The aim of the research is to discover whether it is possible to...master thesis 2023

Cheng, Long (author), Wang, Ying (author), Liu, Qingzhi (author), Epema, D.H.J. (author), Liu, Cheng (author), Mao, Ying (author), Murphy, John (author)Large data centers are currently the mainstream infrastructures for big data processing. As one of the most fundamental tasks in these environments, the efficient execution of distributed data operators (e.g., join and aggregation) are still challenging current data systems, and one of the key performance issues is network communication time....journal article 2021

Hattink, Laura (author)District heating is gaining popularity and can serve as an alternative for the use of natural gas to provide heat to residential areas. District heating systems can make use of heat sources that are often locally distracted and would have otherwise been wasted. Data centers could act as low temperature heat sources by recovering residual heat...master thesis 2020

Kheybari, Siamak (author), Davoodi Monfared, Mansoor (author), Farazmand, Hadis (author), Rezaei, J. (author)In this paper, a multi-criteria set-covering methodology is proposed to select suitable locations for a set of data centers. First, a framework of criteria, with social, economic and environmental dimensions, is presented. The framework is used to calculate the suitability of potential data center locations in Iran. To that end, a sample of...journal article 2020
