In the recent decades, information technology has grown exponentially. Improving data center energy efficiency is an urgent issue with remarkable economic and environmental impacts. Enormous heat generation is fuelled by the data centers. Distribution of heat is a crucial parameter that affects data center cooling and energy consumption. Heat reduction is the crux of environmentally sustainable computing. Typically, data centres lack in effective sensing systems to monitor heat distribution at a large scale. In this chapter, I aim at using sensor networks as a dense instrumentation technology to comprehend and control cooling in data centers. This chapter presents the Aquasar project as the case study and explores the environmental challenges in developing sensor networks in data centers. I also explore the effective way of dealing with the excess heat from multiple servers in the data centers and the upper hand of...

Even though PE requires significantly less text production, current computer-aided translation (CAT) interfaces still heavily focus on traditional mouse and keyboard input and ignore other interaction modalities to support PE operations. Recently, a multi-modal post-editing (MMPE) CAT environment combining pen, touch, speech, multimodal interaction, and conventional mouse and keyboard input possibilities was presented. The design and development of the first version of MMPE were informed by extensive consultation with professional translators. This paper details how MMPE was since further refined by professional translators’ judgments on which interaction modalities are most suitable for which PE task and more general qualitative findings. In particular, we describe how the layout was adapted to avoid confusion, which visualization aids were added, how the...
