SYNOPSIS
In recent years, increasing environmental awareness has resulted in a sudden increase in interest in the environmental sustainability of software systems, but we are still in the early stages of industry-wide awareness, with relatively few development teams actively prioritising environmental sustainability in their work.
In this talk we will explain the need for sustainable software engineering and review the current state of the art in measuring the environmental impact of a software system.
With the use of a case study, we will illustrate the significant effect that architectural decisions can have, positively or negatively, on a system's environmental sustainability, and explore some of the architectural techniques, tactics, and patterns that we can use to estimate and reduce the environmental impact of our software systems.
ABOUT THE PRESENTER
Eoin Woods is an independent consultant in the fields of software architecture, green software and software engineering. Prior to this he was the CTO at Endava for 10 years, where he was responsible for software engineering and capability development for over 10,000 delivery staff across the world.
Prior to Endava he developed databases, created security software and designed way too many systems to move money around. Outside his day job he is interested in software architecture, sustainable (or "green") software and software security.
He is a regular conference speaker, has co-authored three books on software architecture and was the recipient of the 2018 Linda Northrup Award for Software Architecture, from the Software Engineering Institute at CMU. His web site is www.eoinwoods.info.
