Our paper on SusDevOps: Promoting Sustainability to a First Principle in Software Delivery has been accepted for the New Ideas and Emerging Results (NIER) track of the 2025 edition of IEEE/ACM International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE), the premier software engineering conference.
Preprint will be available in the coming days.
Abstract. Sustainability is becoming a key property of modern software systems. While there is a substantial and growing body of knowledge on engineering sustainable software, end-to-end frameworks that situate sustainability-related activities within the software delivery lifecycle are missing. In this article, we propose the SusDevOps framework that promotes sustainability to a first principle within a DevOps context. We demonstrate the lifecycle phases and techniques of SusDevOps through the case of a software development startup company.
