Preliminary Call for Contributions for the Journal of Software Evolution and
Processes - Special Issue on Software Engineering for Sustainability (SE4S)
Editors: Patricia Lago and Birgit Penzenstadler
Mankind has exceeded a number of our planet’s boundaries for safe operation.
Consequently, research has put the topics of sustainability and resilience on
its agenda. Over the last few years, this has lead to significant research
efforts in various disciplines, one of them being software engineering.
Software engineering for sustainability (SE4S) addresses the role and impact of
software engineering in a sustainable society that is incrementally intertwined
with ecological changes, social challenges, economic imperatives and technical
demands and opportunities. In recent years, a number of workshops and
conferences started addressing specific research challenges related to SE4S,
inter alia GREENS, RE4SuSy, ICT4S, GInSEng, SAGRA, and SEIS@ICSE. GREENS
centers around green software, RE4SuSy focusses on requirements engineering for
sustainable systems, ICT4S encompasses all aspects around ICT systems for
sustainability, GInSEng works on green in software engineering, SAGRA relates
sustainable architecture topics, and SEIS discusses the impact of software
engineering on and for an increasingly sustainable society. These venues
brought forth a significant amount of work on the different aspects of SE4S.
This special issue will gather the most promising yet mature research results.
This special issue aims at attracting contributions addressing: how software
itself can be engineered to be (or become) more energy efficient (or greener);
how software processes (and hence the software industry) can become more
sustainable and achieve various sustainability requirements; and how software
systems can help realizing the ambitious sustainability objectives of our
society.
We invite articles including but not limited to the following topics:
• Software engineering for sustainability as main objective
• Software systems for a sustainable lifestyle
• Engineering sustainable software systems
• Software systems for monitoring sustainability
• Standards for sustainability related to software systems
• Green software engineering
• Engineering energy efficient software
• Sustainability as a software quality property
• Software engineering for catastrophe-resilient systems
• Analysis of existing software systems w.r.t. sustainability
• Sustainable software engineering
• Sustainable software architecture
• Evolution of sustainable software systems
• Software processes for supporting sustainability
• Architecture assessment of sustainability-related concerns
• Design decision making for sustainable software
• Measurement and estimations of software sustainability
• Empirical methods and studies in all aspects of SE4S
Submission deadline: February 15, 2016
