GreenArch 2026 is the first ICSA26 workshop dedicated to green, carbon-aware software architecture. It brings together researchers and practitioners to explore architectural principles, patterns, and tools for energy-efficient, carbon-aware software systems. The workshop addresses the urgent challenge that software systems now contribute significantly to global energy use and carbon emissions. By focusing on software architecture – the primary driver of system-level efficiency and sustainability – GreenArch aims to align software design with global climate goals.

Key Objectives
Key Objectives
Sustainable architectures: Identify patterns and design principles that minimize energy use and carbon footprint while preserving performance, scalability, and reliability.
Process integration: Investigate how to embed energy- and carbon-awareness into architectural decision-making and development lifecycles.
Evaluation metrics: Define benchmarks, tools, and metrics for assessing the environmental impact of software architectures in real-world settings.
Practical experiences: Share case studies and lessons learned from implementing green architectures across domains.
Community building: Foster collaboration among academics and practitioners to identify open challenges and a research roadmap for sustainable software design.
