Green Software: Architecture Decision-making for Sustainability
Sustainability is one of the most obvious ethical quality attributes for IT systems.
Patricia Lago is a professor at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and leads the Software and Services research group, with a special focus on sustainability and green IT. In this talk at the LAC 2018 (https://www.laccongres.nl), she will explain the notion of sustainability and the choices that architects can make to increase the sustainability of their design.
Sustainable Software for a Digital Society
Software is being developed since decades without taking sustainability into consideration. This holds for its energy efficiency, that is the amount of energy software consumes while ensuring other system qualities like security, performance, reliability, etc. etc. Software un-sustainability, however, is becoming increasingly evident with the growing digitalization of our society, and its dependence on software. Finally IT specialists are becoming aware that software solutions can, and should, be designed with sustainability concerns in mind. In doing so, they can create solutions that are technically more stable (hence requiring less modifications over time), target societal goals with a higher certainty, or help sustaining the business goals of both developing and consuming organizations. Everything sounds great. The real question is: how? How can we redirect software engineering practices toward sustainable software solutions? And how can we turn sustainability into a business so that companies will finally invest in it? This talk explores results and challenges in engineering software for a more sustainable digital society.
RIDE 2011 keynote: Learning the unlearnable
Research in Distance Education 2011 conference keynote. Presentation by Professor Richard Noss (London KNowledge Lab). Much of our time as educationalists is spent considering how to enhance the teaching and learning of knowledge that has been subject only to slight change over the last century. The development of these curricula was formed by the needs of a pre-computational era, with inert technologies, and forms of representations that are - for some subjects at least - now largely obsolete. In this lecture, I will re-evaluate what becomes possible to teach and learn that was, quite simply, more or less unlearnable and unteachable before.
How to bring Sustainability in your Organization – Green IT
(Invited talk at IT Circle Netherlands)
Many organizations struggle with the challenge of sustainability and how you can bring it to your IT organization. Patricia Lago, professor at VU Amsterdam is leading the Software and Services research group at VU. Her research focus is on energy-efficient software engineering and software sustainability. She, together with her colleague Ivano Malavolta shares her thoughts and experiences on how to deal with this emerging topic.
Sustainability - The Software Perspective
This document summarizes a presentation by Patricia Lago on software and sustainability. The key points are:
1) Software can both help and hinder sustainability depending on how it is designed and deployed. The software architecture perspective can provide a "big picture" view of sustainability impacts.
2) Lago's research group at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam focuses on topics like software architecture for digital sustainability, architectural technical debt, and the software energy footprint.
3) Effective decision making around software and sustainability requires informed strategies using tools like the Sustainability Assessment Framework, which includes decision maps to explore design options and their impacts over time.
Adopting sustainability in ICT industry: from the trenches
This presentation was given at the 2017 National Sustainability Day in Higher Education, in collaboration with GreenIT Amsterdam.
It presented preliminary results of the GreenServe project, where we measured the sustainability impact of software-intensive systems of IT and software companies and built decision maps to help informed decision making.

Lago enviroinfo2014
The document proposes a new master's track in engineering energy-aware software. The track would include four module types to embed sustainability into software engineering: project-based modules, centralized modules, elective modules, and a final project. The goal is to provide professionals and future generations with the skills to design energy-efficient software and ICT systems, in collaboration with industry.
The History of Software Architecture: In the eye of the practitioner
Software architecture (SA) is celebrating 25 years. This is so if we consider the seminal papers establishing SA as a distinct discipline, and scientific publications that have identified cornerstones of both research and practice, like architecture views, architecture description languages, and architecture evaluation.
With the pervasive use of cloud provisioning, the dynamic integration of multi-party distributed services, and the steep increase in the digitalization of business and society, making sound design decisions encompasses an increasingly-large and complex problem space. The role of SA is essential as never before, so much so that no organization undertakes ‘serious’ projects without the support of suitable architecture practices.
But, how did SA practice evolve in the past 25 years? And what are the challenges ahead?
There have been various attempts to summarize the state of research and practice of SA. Still, we miss the practitioners’ view on the questions above.
To fill this gap, we have first extracted the top-10 topics resulting from the analysis of 5,622 scientific papers. Then, we have used such topics to design an online survey filled out by 57 SA practitioners with 5 to 20+ years of experience.

Introduction to Innovation Philosophy - Day1a-intro1
This document provides an overview of innovation management and open innovation. It discusses:
1) The agenda includes topics on innovation and creativity, philosophy and techniques, the innovation process, and open innovation.
2) Innovation is defined as the implementation, development, and commercialization of ideas to create business value. It can be achieved through new products/services or improved processes.
3) Types of innovation include incremental, radical/disruptive, closed, and open innovation models. Radical innovations involve major changes while incremental improvements build on existing solutions. Closed innovation follows a linear process while open innovation is more collaborative.
SoSA: A Software Sustainability Assessment Method
This document introduces the Software Sustainability Assessment (SoSA) method. SoSA is a multi-dimensional framework for evaluating software with sustainability intents across technical, economic, social and environmental impacts over time. These impacts can be immediate or enabling of further impacts. The document provides examples of sustainable software strategies and their impacts, such as efficient database queries reducing energy consumption by 25%. It also outlines research needs like a knowledge bank of sustainable software practices and new assessment methods.
Sustainability Training Workshop - Managing Sustainability into Software
Sustainability Training Workshop - Managing Sustainability into SoftwareSoftware Sustainability Institute
Presentation by Steve Crouch, Software Architect at the Software Sustainability Institute.
Presented at the Digital Social Research: Sustainability Training Workshop at OeRC, Oxford on 12 December 2011.Self-adaptation Approaches for Energy Efficiency
The increasing energy demands of software systems have set an
essential software quality requirement: energy efficiency. At the
same time, the many contextual changes faced by software systems
during execution can hamper their functionality and overall
quality. To address both problems, self-adaptation approaches can
empower software systems, at both design-time and runtime, to
adapt to dynamic conditions. In this way, software systems can
be more resilient to failure, hence more trustful to satisfy the demands
of modern digital society. In this paper, we perform a systematic
literature review to study the state-of-the-art on existing
self-adaptation approaches for energy efficiency. We analyze the
identified approaches from three different perspectives, namely
publication trends, application domains, and types of software systems.
Our findings can help solution providers to make guided
decisions to enable self-adaptability in designing and engineering
software systems.
Green scan methodology for green software assessment
Pragmatic yet effective methodology to evaluate green software for energy efficiency. It introduces the concept of "green hotspot", and is applicable for assessing software architectures against green aspects like energy efficiency and environmental sustainability
Towards Software Sustainability Assessment
The document discusses software sustainability assessment and introduces the SoSA method. It provides background on the researchers and their work in green software engineering. The document outlines two types of sustainability impacts software can have - directly through energy efficiency, and indirectly by supporting sustainable processes or influencing positive behavioral changes. It introduces a framework for software sustainability assessment that considers four dimensions: economic, social, environmental, and technical.
Digital innovation in local government
The document discusses a strategy for digital innovation in local government. It recommends treating online communities as real communities, giving staff the tools needed to do their jobs, prototyping ideas before strategizing, and creating a comprehensive strategy that focuses on mobile access, open data, user-centered design, and developing skills for a digital economy. The strategy emphasizes making participation convenient and that everything will become digital.

Open Source as a Catalyst for Change in Closed Source Companies / Andrew AitkenParis Open Source Summit
This panel discussion will address how closed source companies use the open source ethos to energize their companies and change how they relate to their customers, partners and employees. Presented by Microsoft, AOL and Yahoo!Sustainable Communication
Jorge Zapico has a background in computer science and sustainable technology. He argues that these fields are more connected than they appear. ICTs have significantly changed how people live and communicate, but their production and short lifespan contributes to environmental problems like e-waste. However, ICTs also enable dematerialization, virtual presence, optimization, and tools for societal change that can support sustainability if designed well. Key technologies to watch include mobile phones, sensors, social media, and approaches that empower openness and positive impacts on sustainability. ICTs themselves are neutral but impact sustainability based on how they are guided and applied.
Introforelesning
The document discusses the importance of digital skills in schools and how terminology has shifted from "ability to use digital tools" to "digital skills". It argues this shift in terminology better emphasizes cognitive dimensions like attitudes, understanding, and communication. It also discusses the concepts of the "first digital divide" and the "second digital divide" as well as how connectivity does not automatically translate to benefits and proposes the concept of "connectedness" as the ability to benefit from connectivity for personal, social, work or economic purposes.

Alternative architecture and control strategy july 2010 - joe beno
The document proposes an alternative architecture and control strategy for hexapod positioning systems that aims to simplify structural design and improve accuracy. It decouples displacement sensors from actuators, using sensors to define the hexapod configuration and sophisticated controls to determine actuator forces based on sensor readings. This approach could reduce actuator weight by 50% and give additional design freedom by relaxing stiffness requirements on actuators.

This document provides a summary of a report that evaluates Ukraine's energy and climate policies compared to the EU. It includes chapters on the methodology used, results of the analysis for different sectors (energy supply, industry, buildings, transport), and conclusions and recommendations. The analysis scores Ukraine's policies on incentives and barriers for energy efficiency, renewable energy, and low-carbon technologies in each sector. It finds that while Ukraine has potential for reducing emissions, there are regulatory, economic and technical barriers preventing many of its policies from being effective. Recommendations include removing subsidies, improving incentives for renewables, enacting energy efficiency standards and codes, and establishing emissions trading programs.
Modernising Building Energy Codes
The document discusses building energy codes, which are the first policy recommendation made by the IEA to improve energy efficiency in buildings. It recommends that governments establish codes requiring all new and renovated buildings to meet minimum energy performance standards. The buildings sector accounts for a large portion of global energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Over time, building energy codes have evolved from prescriptive to performance-based standards to reduce energy use through requirements for the building envelope and equipment. Effective implementation and regular updates to codes are needed to achieve energy efficiency gains given the long lifespan of buildings. Challenges include fragmentation in the buildings sector and aligning codes with other policies.
World Population Growth
This document discusses key concepts relating to world population growth including:
- Demography is the statistical study of human populations and helps understand causes and consequences of population change. Accurate population data allows governments and businesses to plan.
- The components of population change are births, deaths, and migration in or out of an area. Population change is calculated as births - deaths + immigration - emigration.
- Birth and death rates are more significant measures than raw numbers. Canada's annual birth rate is 11 per thousand and death rate is 7 per thousand, resulting in 0.6% natural increase.
- Human populations can grow exponentially as each generation reproduces. The "rule of seventy" estimates doubling time as 70 divided by

The development of these materials provokes a re-consideration of our understanding of sustainable architectural practice and expands the available design portfolio beyond alternative energy sources, efficiency and recycling in order to retool architects for the ambitious 'zero carbon' city targets set by the Brussels 2030 Energy Comission
Alternative Building Technology
Laurie Baker was an architect in India who pioneered the use of alternative and sustainable building techniques. He designed over 1,000 homes and other buildings using local and natural materials to reduce costs.

Energy Efficient and sustainable Buildings
Energy Efficient and sustainable BuildingsDirector-Navnirman Bahu-Uddeshiya Mahila Sanstha,Suvarna Lele Architects.
I came to know regarding this competition from rediff.com
The idea of Energy Efficient design is
to modulate the conditions such that they
are always within or as close as possible to
comfort zone.Modulations introduced by the
landscape,built form,envelope,materials and
other control measures bring the conditions
within the range throughout twenty four hours
cycle.
This is goal of Energy Efficient Architecture
Buildings, as they are designed and used today, contribute to serious environmental and economical problems because of excessive consumption of energy and other natural resources. The close connection between energy use in buildings and environmental damage arises because energy-intensive and monetarily expensive solutions sought to construct a building and meet its demands for heating, cooling, ventilation, and lighting cause severe depletion of invaluable environmental resources
Energy resource efficiency in new constructions
can be effected by adopting an
Integrated Approach To Building Design.

Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.
