The increasing trend we are witnessing where companies and other organizations are introducing sustainability practices has gained an significant interest from the software community. The intersection betwen software and environmental sustainability dimensions has become mainstream for the software engineering field, and led to a number of scientific contributions in different areas ranging from sustaible architectures and systems to metrics and tools aimed to estimate the carbon and energy footprint of systems. Consequently, training future software engineers in these techniques is a need from software companies and universities nowadays are incorporating sustainability courses in computing science studies. Consequently, the "Green and Sustainable Computing" track at QUATIC aims to explore and advance research about how software engineering practices can contribute to a more sustainable world. We invite researchers and practitioners to contribute their insights on various aspects of sustainability within the realm of software engineering.
We welcome submissions on a broad range of topics, including but not limited to:
Energy-aware software development, testing for energy-efficiency of software systems, sustainability approaches measuring energy in data centers
Green AI systems and algorithms, use of LLMs to support sustainability solutions
Software quality models, sustainable architectures and frameworks
Metrics, tools, and techniques for measuring sustainability footprint (energy, carbon, water)
Developing and deploying green AI software systems, resource utilization and optimization
Adapting software organizations to sustainable models, standards and legal aspects
Greenwashing detection and sustainability predictive models
Education and training in all the topics above
Industry experiences and case studies
