Grasshopper: Green Software Engineering Interest Group

Birmingham Green Software Engineering Grasshoppers are interested in making software engineering research green. We are particularly interested in green-aware ultra-large scale software architectures (e.g Cloud) and their automated energy management. Our investigations cover green cloud architectures, green architectural styles, green-aware middleware, and relating green-aware requirements to software architectures. Our Green Software Engineering Grasshoppers are also interested in requirements analysis for complex global change problems, architectural patterns and styles for successful emissions reduction strategies, and tools for monitoring, controlling, simulating, and visualising green properties and the application of Search-Based Software Engineering to green computing.

Green Software Engineering Grasshopper Ongoing Projects:

Green Cloud: A Framework for Self-Optimisation of Quality of Service (QoS) and Power in Cloud Architectures. Bridging the Gap Fellowship (EPSRC/UB).

Green-Aware Software Architectures (Ramsay Research Funds).

Green Cloud Simulator(EPSRC Vacation Bursary)
