  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
  * Camera-ready copies of accepted papers: December 8, 2014
  * Author registration due date: December 15, 2014
