Software Engineering Aspects of Green Computing

 

               http://www.green-se.net/segc/2015/

 

The 30th Annual ACM Symposium on Applied Computing

April 13 - 17, 2015, Salamanca, Spain

------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

The increasing amount of the energy consumption of today's IT solutions

significantly contributes to greenhouse gas emissions. "Green Computing"

or "Green IT" emphasizes on the need for reducing the environmental 

impacts of IT solutions by reducing their energy consumption and their 

greenhouse gas emissions. Among others, green computing can be achieved

in software and by software. While greening by software aims at saving 

energy (or other resources) by the help of software, greening in software

aims at reducing the environmental impact caused by the software itself.

 

The Software Engineering Aspects of Green Computing track at the 2015

Symposium on Applied Computing aims to bring together academic and 

industrial researchers to share their experience in achieving the 

green-ness in and by software. Submissions are encouraged, but not 

limited, in the following topics:

  * Greenness in Software: which dedicated software engineering methods and
tools are required to model, analyze and optimize energy-consumption and
carbon dioxide generation of software systems during the software
development process? 

      o Requirement elicitation phase:

            * Methods and tools to elicit and model greenness requirements

            * Methods and tools to identify and analyze the trade-offs among
the functional requirements, greenness requirements themselves and other
quality attributes

      o Architectural design phase:

            * Methods and tools to model greenness attributes of software
architecture

            * Methods and tools to analyze the trade-offs among the
functional requirements, greenness attributes themselves and other quality
attributes

            * Metrics to evaluate the greenness of software architecture

            * Methods and tools to trace greenness attributes to the
greenness requirements

            * Dedicated architectural patterns to achieve green software

            * Refactoring methods energy saving

      o Implementation phase:

            * (Domain-specific) languages to implement greener software

            * Compilation methods to achieve greener software

            * IDE support to guide programmers in implementing greener
software

            * Refactoring methods to make legacy software greener

            * Methods and tools to measure the greenness of implementations

            * Methods and tools to assess the trade-offs between the
functionality, the greenness and other quality attributes

      o Testing phase:

            * Methods and tools to generate test scenarios to assess the
greenness of software

            * Energy profiling techniques

      o Operational phase:

            * Methods and tools to monitor the greenness attributes

            * Methods and tools to dynamically adapt the software to fulfill
its greenness attributes

            * Methods and tools to profile energy consumption and to carbon
foot printing

            * Metrics to identify energy hotspots

  * Greenness by software: which dedicated software engineering methods and
tools are required to model, analyze and optimize energy-consumption and
carbon dioxide generation of industrial solutions by means of software?

      o Industrial case studies such as smart home, smart cities, smart
embedded systems

      o Methods and tools to make industrial solutions dynamically adaptive
in their greenness attributes

      o Methods and tools to measure the effect of green-ness by software

      o Methods and tools to make hardware greener by software

      o Application software for smart control of eco-friendly buildings,
thermo-control of data centers, climate monitoring

 

 

Student Research Abstracts

--------------------------

Graduate students seeking feedback from the scientific community on their

research ideas are invited to submit abstracts (minimum of 2-pages and 

maximum of 4-pages) of their original un-published and in-progress 

research work in the area of Software Engineering Aspects of Green 

Computing. For more details, see http://www.green-se.net/segc/2015/

  

 

Submission Guideline

--------------------

All submitted papers must represent original work and can only be submitted

to a single ACM SAC track. Papers submitted to more than one track will be

removed from the conference. There is a limit of 6 pages using the ACM SIG

format. Authors may opt to add 2 additional pages (at extra charge). Please

ensure that the author names and contacts are omitted from the submitted 

paper during the initial review phase. Paper submissions must be made 

electronically in PDF format via the ACM SAC website 

https://www.softconf.com/d/sac2015. 

 

Paper registration is required, allowing the inclusion of the paper/poster
in the conference proceedings. 

An author or a proxy attending SAC MUST present the paper. This is a
requirement for all accepted papers and posters to be included 

in the ACM digital library. No-show of scheduled papers and posters will
result in excluding them from the ACM digital library.

 

 

Important Dates

* Submission of regular papers and SRC abstracts: September 12, 2014

* Submission of tutorial proposals: September 26, 2014

* Notification of tutorials acceptance: November 3, 2014

* Author notification for papers and SRC abstracts: November 17, 2014
