Rethinking sustainability in computing: from buzzword to non-negotiable limits
NordiCHI '14: Proceedings of the 8th Nordic Conference on Human-Computer Interaction: Fun, Fast, FoundationalRecent years have seen a flurry of work on sustainable computing and sustainable HCI, but it is unclear whether this body of work adheres to a meaningful definition of sustainability. In this paper, we review four interlocking frameworks that together ...
Computational Sustainability: A Socio-technical Perspective
This is a consolidated look at computational techniques for sustainability, and their limits and possibilities. Sustainability is already well established as a concern and a topic of study and practice, given the alarming increase of environmental ...
Challenges for CPAIOR in computational sustainability
CPAIOR'10: Proceedings of the 7th international conference on Integration of AI and OR Techniques in Constraint Programming for Combinatorial Optimization ProblemsThe notions of sustainability and sustainable development were first introduced in the seminal report of the United Nations World Commission on Environment and Development, known as the Brundtland report or Our Common Future [3]. Sustainable development ...
