The SEAD (Super-efficient Equipment and Appliance Deployment) Connected Efficiency Award recognizes energy efficient communications protocols and their authors. SEAD’s Global Efficiency Medal spotlight innovative new technologies that can push the boundaries of efficiency and reduce energy consumption. The 2017 winners were announced on 7 November, following a selection by a panel of experts from the US Energy Star/Environmental Protection Agency, International Energy Agency, Swedish Energy Agency, Business NZ Energy Council/ World Energy Council, Cisco, and Natural Resources Canada.
One among the five 2017 winners is ECMA-393 “proxZzzy™ for sleeping hosts” which was published in 2012 by Ecma International and specifies maintenance of network connectivity and presence by proxies to extend the sleep duration of hosts, thus improving their global energy efficiency.
