Software Engineering Aspects of Green Computing

                http://www.green-se.net/segc/2014/

The 29th Annual ACM Symposium on Applied Computing

March 24 - 28, 2014,

Gyeongju, South Korea
------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 2014  
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

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/2014/


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/sac2014.

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.
