Aligning Sustainability Practices Workshop @ ICT4S 2024

How can the multiple branches of computing research align with socially, economically, and ecologically sustainable practices? In this co-design workshop hosted at the ICT4S 2024 conference in Stockholm, Sweden, we look for a group of at least 10 colleagues with whom to embark in looking for an answer to this question through the process of writing a book in the form of an edited collection of essays.

Workshop Aims

This full-day workshop aims at creating conversations between researchers from different branches of computing including cybersecurity, AI/ML, computing education, interaction design, distributed computing, and more. Based on the organizers' previous experience, the workshop will rely on pre-workshop online activities that will pave the way for collectively addressing the challenges of interdisciplinary collaborations when dealing with the complexity of sustainable practice.
With this workshop, we aim to produce a table of contents for the proposed book, and to: (1) collectively explore different branches of computing research and identify key authors on sustainable practices in computing research; (2) discuss how contributions to the book can be aligned in relation to the different branches of computing research; (3) start building a path toward aligning future computing research with sustainable practices, in the book and beyond. That includes identifying potential co-editors, to maximise the possibilities for the book to achieve high impact.
