The theme for ICSSP 2024 is Sustainable Development.

In 2015, United Nations Member states adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, that defines 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to achieve “peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future”. These goals address issues related to equality, health, education, the natural and built environment, and economic growth.

Topics

General contributions that address best emerging practice in software and systems engineering are welcome. In addition, we are especially interested in software and systems processes research that addresses sustainable development, such as:

    Poverty, hunger, and health
    Clean energy, clean water, and sanitation
    Equality, justice, peace
    Climate action
    Sustainable consumption, production, innovation, and infrastructure

Examples of  topics to address sustainable development goals in and through software and systems engineering include, but are not limited to:

    Agile and other methods for sustainable global development
    Techniques to address bias and inclusion in software development ecosystems and software products (especially those incorporating AI and/or machine learning)
    Green software and systems engineering
    Open Science and Open Data
    Developing trust and integrity
    Processes for digital public infrastructure, FutureGov, education, food systems transformation, and energy
    Gamification of sustainable development goals
    Sustainable software development
    Processes related to distributed and hybrid working
    Cloud infrastructure and program optimization that address improved power consumption
    AI based software engineering
    Alignment of AI with sustainable development
    Software and AI enabled smart homes/living
    Migrating software applications and systems to more sustainable infrastructure
    Regulation for socially-critical software systems development
    Software processes to achieve better work-life balance in software engineering
    Issues related to gender, racial, or age equity in software and systems processes
    Novel applications of software/systems process engineering to physical processes
