ABSTRACT<br>
Engineering 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 IT and
self-greening software systems have tremendous potential to decrease
energy consumption (e.g., Google’s green computing strategy).
Moreover, enterprise 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 desire
and affect change. Thus, the theme of GREENS 2014 is Demonstrating
Software Energy Efficiency to Software Users. The GREENS workshop
series brings together researchers and practitioners to discuss both
the state-of-the-art and state-of-the-practice in green software,
including novel ideas, research challenges, methods, experiences,
and tools to support the engineering of sustainable and energy
efficient software systems.<br>
<br>
<br>
TOPICS<br>
GREENS 2014 is interested in contributions from industry,
government, and academia on all topics related to greener software
engineering. Topics include, but are not limited to:<br>
- Requirements engineering, architecting and design methods for
green software<br>
- Best practices to increase energy efficiency and sustainability
(including software and process improvement)<br>
- Instrument and monitor software systems to key green indicators
(KGIs) and green improvement<br>
- Green adaptation of software-intensive systems<br>
- Self-greening software-intensive systems<br>
- Self-adaptive and self-managing systems for green computing<br>
- Green architectural knowledge, green design patterns<br>
- Greening data management<br>
- Monitoring, verification and validation of green software<br>
- Creating user awareness about energy consumption of software
applications and services<br>
- Tools to support green decision making<br>
- Green key performance indicators<br>
- Quality & risk assessments, tradeoff analyses between energy
efficiency, sustainability and traditional quality requirements<br>
- Business models for green software (e.g., SaaS, IaaS, PaaS, and
cloud computing)<br>
- Formulating challenges for a green software industry<br>
- Return on investments and economic aspects of green software
development<br>
- Case studies and industry experience reports<br>
- Incentives to invest in greener software<br>
<br>
<br>
SUBMISSION AND REVIEW PROCESS<br>
We are soliciting papers in two distinct categories:<br>
* Research papers describing innovative and significant original
research in the field (maximum 8 pages);<br>
* Industrial papers describing industrial experience, case studies,
challenges, problems and solutions (maximum 8 pages).<br>
Please submit your paper online through EasyChair at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=greens2014">https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=greens2014</a>. Submissions
should be original and unpublished work. Each submitted paper will
undergo a rigorous review process by three members of the Program
Committee. All types of papers must conform to the ICSE submission
format and guidelines (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://2014.icse-conferences.org/format">http://2014.icse-conferences.org/format</a>). All
accepted papers will appear in the ACM Digital Library.<br>
