Call for Papers

We are delighted to announce that GreenArch 2026: The First International Workshop on Software Architecture for Green Sustainable Carbon-aware Software Systems will feature high-quality contributions selected through a rigorous peer-reviewed process.

Each submission will be reviewed by at least three members of the Program Committee, ensuring fairness, academic integrity, and alignment with the workshop’s sustainability vision.

All accepted papers will be published in the ICSA 2026 Companion Proceedings and made available via the IEEE Xplore Digital Library.

The workshop invites contributions (theoretical, empirical, or experience-based) in, but not limited to, the following areas:

A. Architectural Principles and Patterns

• • •  Carbon-aware and energy-efficient architectural styles

    •  Sustainability-driven architectural decision-making

    •  Trade-offs between sustainability and other quality attributes (e.g., performance, security)

B. Metrics, Evaluation, and Tool Support

•  Metrics and benchmarks for energy and carbon impact

•  Simulation and modeling tools for sustainability assessment

•  Automated analysis and optimization of green architectures

C. Deployment and Operational Strategies

•  Carbon-aware deployment in cloud, edge, and IoT environments

•  Dynamic adaptation for energy efficiency

•  Integration of renewable energy sources in software systems

D. Emerging Technologies and Sustainability

•  Green AI and machine learning architectures

•  Blockchain for sustainable systems

•  Digital twins for sustainability monitoring

E. Case Studies and Industrial Experiences

•  Real-world implementations of sustainable architectures

•  Lessons learned from large-scale systems

•  Regulatory compliance and standards for green software

F. Human and Organizational Aspects

•  Human-centered design for sustainability

•  Education and training for sustainable software engineering

•  Governance and policy implications for green software

Workshop organizers are responsible for managing submissions and the review process.
All submissions must:

1. Follow the IEEE CS proceedings format, 

2. Be written in English and not exceed 8 pages.

3. Be submitted electronically in PDF format via EasyChair (track: ICSA 2026 Workshops).

Accepted papers will be published in the ICSA 2026 Companion Proceedings and made available in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library.

Important note: No changes to the list of authors are allowed after submission.
