Software Engineering Aspects 
         of Green Computing (SEAGC)

http://trese.ewi.utwente.nl/workshops/SEAGC/

The 28th Annual ACM Symposium on Applied Computing
March 18-22, 2013 Coimbra, Portugal
------------------------------------------------------------------------

The increasing amount of the energy consumption of today's IT solutions
significantly contributes to green house 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 
green house 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 2013 
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:
* Methods and techniques to elicit and model green-ness requirements
* Methods and techniques to identify and analyze the trade-offs among
  the green-ness requirements themselves and other quality attributes
* Methods and techniques to model and analyze the green-ness attributes
  of software architecture and their trade-offs
* Design patterns for achieving green-ness both in and by software
* Domain-specific programming abstractions to ease the implementation 
  and analysis of the green-ness of programs
* Green compilers to generate energy-optimized code
* Methods and techniques to reflect the green-ness requirements in the 
  test scenarios
* Methods and techniques to monitor the green-ness attributes of software
  during its operational phase
* Metrics for assessing the green-ness of software
* Empirical evaluation of the green-ness of software
* Green-ness by software: general principles and special qualities
* Methods and techniques to measure the effect of green-ness by software
* Methods and techniques to achieve green-ness in industrial processes
  by software
* Methods and techniques to achieve green-ness in embedded systems
* Impact of multi-core programming for energy reduction
* Experience reports and best-practices
* Applications that enable dematerialization
* Adaptable software systems based on the environmental context
* Software for energy efficiency and management, smart energy systems, 
  smart grids, smart metering

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://trese.ewi.utwente.nl/workshops/SEAGC/.
  

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 
http://www.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2013/. 

For both full papers and posters, paper registration for the conference is 
required and allows the paper to be printed in the conference proceedings. 
For accepted papers, registration for the conference is required and allows
accepted papers to be printed in the conference proceedings. The accepted 
paper MUST be presented by an author or a proxy. This is a requirement for
the paper to be part of the ACM/IEEE digital library. No-show of scheduled 
papers will result in excluding the papers from the ACM/IEEE digital library.
