Track: Green and Sustainable Computing (GSC)
ABOUT
The imperative for sustainable practices in software development has gained increasing prominence in recent years. Addressing the intersection of sustainability and software engineering, the "Green and Sustainable Computing" track at QUATIC aims to advance research and explore how software engineering practices can contribute to a more sustainable future. We invite researchers and practitioners to contribute their insights on various aspects of sustainability within the realm of software engineering.
TOPICS
We welcome submissions on a broad range of topics, including but not limited to:
Energy-aware software development
Testing for energy-efficiency in software systems
Green AI
Technical Debt
Software quality models for sustainability
Metrics and measures for software sustainability
Practices for software sustainability
Tools to support sustainability-aware decision making
Developing and deploying green AI software systems
Computing resource utilization and optimization
Applying and adapting software organizations to sustainable models
Education and training in all the topics above

Daniel Feitosa is an Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Science and Engineering of the University of Groningen. His work in software engineering—spanning technical debt management, software architecture, energy efficiency, and release engineering—has garnered international recognition, including awards such as the Distinguished Paper Award at ICSE 2025 and CAIN 2023. Daniel has contributed extensively to the field through publications in high-impact venues, peer reviews, and the organization of workshops, conferences, and journal activities. His research bridges academic insights with practical solutions for industry practitioners—a synergy he further fosters as an organizer of the International PhD School in Software Architecture, where he nurtures emerging talent and promotes fruitful collaboration between academia and industry.
