Towards a Software Engineering Discipline for Green Software
Project identification
The bilateral project between the Department of Informatics, University of Minho, Braga and the Department of Computers and Informatics, Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Informatics, Technical University of Košice has two identifiers, one in the Slovak Republic and one in the Portugal. The Portuguese ID is FCT/Slovakia ref. 441, the Slovak one is SK-PT-2015–0037, which means that the project is supported by the Slovak Research and Development Agency under the contract No. SK-PT-2015–0037 and by the Portugal-Slovakia Cooperation FCT Project (Ref. 441).
Abstract
The goal of this project is to study and propose novel techniques to provide programmers with models that will allow them to reason about their programs in terms of energy consumption. Moreover, we aim to develop tools, like energy profilers, energy smell detectors, energy refactorings, energy testing frameworks, and energy optimizations, so that abnormal energy consumption can be related to a program’s source code and optimized. We will validate such techniques and tools with real-world applications.
