“…Energy‐aware resource provisioning and allocation algorithms can be classified under the term green by software, which refers to IT when used as a tool to support sustainability goals (Calero & Piattini, ), in the case of CDC, so as to reallocate VMs in order to reduce the power consumption. However, less attention has been paid to how to make software in a more sustainable manner (García‐Mireles, Moraga, García, Calero, & Piattini, ), also known as green in software.…”

“…This document states that sustainability has to be understood as regard a set of five dimensions: social, individual, environmental, economic, and technical. The Green Code of Ethics (Moraga et al, ) takes the basis of the Karlskrona manifesto to propose professional practices in the field of software engineering, and its objective is to encourage software practitioners to adopt green in IT methodologies, although there are still many misconceptions and misunderstanding surrounding software sustainability (Calero & Piattini, ).…”

Green information technologies (GITs) constitute a field of research, whose objective is to reduce the environmental pollution caused by masses of people using and producing technology. This paper describes the search for literature related to GIT and technology sustainability in Scopus database. No restriction was imposed on the time period when carrying out the search. The data gathered revealed that the journal with the highest number of publications is Computer, and the most prolific author is Tomoya Enokido, with 45 publications. A total of 53.12% of the documents found in Scopus were Conference Paper. Although no statistically significant differences were detected, countries in the group with less CO2 kton emissions per inhabitant and less income per capita have a higher percentage of publications. The reduction of power consumption in the cloud data centers is a hot topic for future work, because the word cloud appeared in 9 out of the 10 most frequently cited papers.

“…Software development technology is no exception and striving to establish smart cities, smart buildings, and a variety of software applications with which to improve sustainability. However, as Kitchin et al have observed, “our civilization runs on software,” and never‐ending demand for software provokes the production of nonsustainable software …”

“…In any case, the impacts on environment and green and sustainable development have to be considered. 3 Green and sustainable software engineering is the art of designing and developing green and sustainable software through green software engineering practices. 4 Therefore, it is an art of defining and developing a software system in such a way, so that the positive and negative impacts on sustainable development that result or expected to result from software system over the entire life cycle are constantly assessed, documented, and used for more optimization of software system.…”

Over the last decade, the use of agile methods has grown dramatically for software development. Agile methods guarantee to accelerate the delivery of remarkable software with increased user satisfaction and reduced cost. However, in recent years, due to emergence of green software engineering, software developers are compelled to focus more on green and sustainable aspects of software. Global software engineering aims to design, develop, and use a software with limited energy and computing resources. Recently, software engineers in global software development (GSD) have adapted agile methods for quick, interactive, and environment‐friendly software development. However, there is a lack of specific practices to be followed by GSD vendors in the development of green and sustainable software. In this study, we have identified 36 agile practices through systematic literature review and applied contrived search criteria derived from the research questions; 53 relevant papers were identified and reviewed. Findings of the systematic literature review were then empirically validated through questionnaire survey in GSD industry, in which 106 relevant experts from 25 different countries participated. The identified agile practices are intended to assist GSD vendors in strengthening their agile maturity towards green and sustainable software development.

Over the last few years, sustainability has become increasingly relevant in different areas of industry. However, from the point of view of the software companies, the concept of software sustainability is still underdeveloped, as software emissions are not as easily observable as in other sectors, such as the power generation. A starting point for software development companies to tackle software sustainability is the inclusion of actions focused on improving software sustainability within their corporate social responsibility (CSR). For this reason, in this work, a set of specific software sustainability actions aligned with ISO 26000 corporate social responsibility standard is proposed. By including these actions in the CSR of software companies, they can improve sustainability aspects associated with software. In addition, the proposal was applied to six leading companies in the software sector in order to check its suitability and applicability.
