Green Software and Human Actors: design, code, and behavior - community workshop

Achieving the ambitious goals for sustainability requires collaboration between different research disciplines and domains, as the impact of technological-only optimizations slows down. In this community workshop, we aim to build bridges between green software and green IT, UX/UI design, and behavioral studies. The workshop will bring communities together to share ideas and design, build and sustain the next generation of sustainable computing, involving human actors (such as end users, developers, and deciders. This full-day workshop aims at building community. We expect people from academia, industry, and local governments. Two 30-minute presentations from academics will take place in the morning on software energy efficiency, and on HCI and climate change, followed by a 60-minute keynote. After 2-minute self-introductions from all the participants, selected and voluntary 10-minute presentations will take place during 1 hour. Then, discussion will take place in the afternoon about required skills to answer major research questions: (1) how to guide user interface designers for energy-efficient interaction? (2) how to assist end users for energy-efficient interaction? And (3) how to provide data to end users for energy-efficient digital behavior?
