Projects in Green Software Engineering

Project duration: 01.06.2009 - 31.12.2012

Green IT is the study and practice of designing, manufacturing, using and disposing IT related hardware products in an efficient sustainable way with minimal or even no impact on the environment.

Green Software Engineering was the attempt to apply these "green" principles known from hardware products also on software products, software development processes and their underlying software process models.

The first main goal of the project was to to design a conceptual reference model supporting IT professionals and software users in the sustainable development and usage of software. The second main goal was to develop a software toolbox called "Sustainable Software Support Center" (S3C) that assists IT professionals in realizing sustainable, resource-friendly software products.

The project is sponsored by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research under reference 17N1209.
