GREENS

International Workshop on Green and Sustainable Software

Website: https://greensworkshop.github.io/

Findet oftmals als Teil der Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE) statt.

ICT4S

Website: https://conf.researchr.org/series/ict4s

The international ICT4S conferences bring together leading researchers in ICT for Sustainability with government and industry representatives, including decision-makers with an interest in using ICT for sustainability, researchers focusing on ICT effects on sustainability and developers of sustainable ICT systems or applications.

IGSC – International Green and Sustainable Computing Conference

Website: https://www.igscc.org/

IGSC provides a forum for presenting and discussing innovative research on a broad range of topics in the fields of sustainable and energy-efficient computing and computing for a more sustainable planet. The conference consists of technical papers, panels, workshops, PhD Forum, and special sessions on these topics.  More details on topics of interest are provided in call for papers (see tabs at the top).

RE4SuSy

International Workshop on Requirements Engineering for Sustainable Systems

Website by Birgit Penzenstadler: http://birgit.penzenstadler.de/re4susy/

The RE4SuSy workshop series has established a strong and growing research community around the different aspects of sustainability and how to support them in requirements engineering. Since requirements define how and what a software will do, we maintain that requirements engineering is the key point in software engineering through which sustainability can be fostered.

Digitalization for Sustainability – Science in Dialogue (D4S)

Website: https://digitalization-for-sustainability.com/

The European research network “Digitalization for Sustainability – Science in Dialogue” (D4S) is dedicated to develop a progressive vision for a digitalisation that fosters environmental and social sustainability. The project is funded by Robert Bosch foundation and was mainly active between 1 September 2020 to 31 December 2022, while there still will be ongoing events and talks on the outcomes and vision of the project.

Specialized research departments & researchers

Universidade do Minho - Green Software Lab

Website: https://greenlab.di.uminho.pt/

We are a research team working on reducing energy consumption across various computing systems (mobile, programs, databases, etc.). We specifically focus on the software side, where our mission is to apply (source code) analysis and transformation techniques to detect anomalies in energy consumption and to define optimizations to reduce such consumption.
