Theme & Goals

The engineering of green software-intensive systems is critical in our drive towards a sustainable, smarter planet. The goal of green software engineering is to apply green principles to the design and operation of software-intensive systems. Green and self-greening software systems have tremendous potential to decrease energy consumption. Moreover, software can and should be re-thought to address sustainability issues using innovative business models, processes, and incentives. Monitoring and measuring the greenness of software is critical towards the notion of sustainable and green software. Demonstrating improvement is paramount for users to achieve and effect change. Analysis of the sustainability of a specific software system requires software that aids developers in weighing the four dimensions of sustainability—economic, social, environmental, and technical—with their attendant trade-offs. The software engineering community must assume leadership in this important challenge. In this workshop, we will explore the theme of “green software engineering for software sustainability” with a goal towards creating actionable outcomes that will affect how software engineering is practiced and taught in the future, in order to help organizations prioritize their sustainability objectives.
