1st Green in Software Engineering Workshop (GInSEng 2015) (GInSEng 2015)

Nowadays, the environmental aspects are becoming more and more important and are being introduced into the industry as part of its business processes. Moreover, the presence of software systems into industry is also of prime importance, and it is unusual to find enterprises that do not use software systems for their business development. The usage of software systems, web applications, data centers, etc. need a great amount of energy to work. In the area of Information Technology (IT), for quite some time, there have been efforts related to the so-called Green IT. However, from the software point of view, the research is just starting, and there are no too much work available although it is becoming a strong line of research. In this workshop we try to pay attention to the importance of incorporating green aspects as part of the software engineering practices. The main goal of Green in Software Engineering is to include green practices as part of the software development, as well as the rest of activities that are part of the Software Engineering. by taking into consideration environmental aspects.
