The sixteen chapters cover various related issues ranging from technical aspects like energy-efficient programming techniques, patterns to build energy-efficient software, state-of-the-art tools for detecting and refactoring code smells/energy bugs, and elements of governance and management that organizations should consider when implementing, assessing and improving Green IT; to human aspects like an assessment of key competences in sustainability, the adaptation of ACM/IEEE guidelines for student and professional education, the social responsibility related to outsourcing and an economics-driven architectural evaluation for sustainability; and they are complemented by usage scenarios and experience reports. As a whole, the chapters provide a complete overview of the various issues related to sustainable software development.
