GIBSE 2013 - Green in Software Engineering, Green by Software Engineering (GIBSE)

The increasing amount of energy consumption of today’s IT solutions significantly contributes to green house gas emissions. “Green Computing” or “Green IT” emphasizes the need for reducing the environmental impacts of IT solutions by reducing their energy consumption and, thus, greenhouse gas emissions. From the software engineering point of view, we believe that green-ness is an emerging quality attribute that must be taken into account throughout the software development process. In this workshop, we seek for dedicated software engineering techniques to incorporate green-ness attributes in each step of the software development process. In addition, we seek for software-based solutions that enable achieving green-ness in industrial processes.
