Astroparticle Physics and Green Communication and Networking: A Symbiosis

  • Conference paper
Green Communication and Networking (GreeNets 2012)

Abstract

In this paper, the links between astroparticle physics and green communication and networking are described. Due to the advanced scientific and technological frame and the need of green networking that the astroparticle facilities and experiments have, good synergies between both fields can appear. Examples of these synergies of using green networking and communication technologies in deep-sea neutrino telescopes (such as the data acquisition and communication systems of ANTARES, and the KM3NeT acoustic positioning and monitoring system) are also presented.
