A strategic model for evaluating energy efficient ICT infrastructures for sustainable environment

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is one of the fast growing industries that facilitate many latest services to the users and therefore, the number of users is increasing rapidly. The increment of the number of users is proportional to the ICT infrastructures. ICT infrastructures pr...
