Abstract

People have needed to reach information day by day when information technologies have been participated in our life. This creates some demands about meeting Software & Hardware requirements increased with parallel. Especially, increasing in hardware needs which are about software systems, cause production of more powerful systems. These powerful systems have caused bigger size of footprints day by day. Especially in our era, we need to take some precautions about global warming with making these footprints smaller. That is the reason why Green Information and Communication Technologies have been defined by engineers to create some solutions to decreasing these footprints and meet companies requirements with using high engineering and its green approaching solution ways. Green Information and Communication Technologies have been investigated by academicians and Practitioners’ Perspectives

Keywords
