Title: A Novel Message-Exchanging Optimization (MEO) Model to Reduce Energy Consumption in Distributed Systems

The concept of optimizing energy efficiency in distributed systems has gained particular interest. Most of these efforts are focused on the core management concepts like resource discovery, scheduling and allocation without focusing on the actual communication method among system entities. In this work, we propose a model to optimize the energy efficiency of message-exchanging in distributed systems by minimizing the total number of messages when entities communicate. We consider traditional systems that encompass AllToAll methods to send messages.
