The CSIT (Computer Science and Information Technology) Department at UDC launches a new collaborative research project (Zero-energy Cloud Project) with the Department of Electric Engineering. This project focuses on utilizing green energy (by solar panel and wind-turbine) to operate cloud computing facility.

As an initial state, (S1) Electric Engineering takes the lead of research on Power Scheduling: predicting incoming energy (electricity) based on current and future weather conditions (weather forecast). (S2) Computer Science researches on Job Scheduling: an effective job (task) allocation in consideration of the total amount of generated electricity.
