For chapters and revisions, the deadline implies which is the last Git commit we will consider on your branch (the chapter commit is used for review, the revision commit for our evaluation). For the reviews, we will create dCMS submissions that close automatically at that time. These are the deadlines until the end of the year. We will follow up with another mail for Phase II and the BO Phase. Regards, |

Here is a quick outlook for tomorrow.
We start with leftovers, i.e. a few more slides on presentation skills will be shown. Afterwards, the remaining sustainability material will be presented, establishing a common foundation for the upcoming presentations.
This will not take us the full two hours. Hence, we will also do a technology check for next week's presentation. If you already know how you will present it (technology-wise), we could do a brief check tomorrow. There are basically two options: 1) you provide us with PDFs that we show on the presenter laptop, 2) you enter the BBB room and share your screen from there. Let's make these things clear tomorrow, so that we will have a smooth presentation day.
Regards,
The AoSCS Team

Once you write your chapters, this will be needed. We also assigned you to the topics (the credentials are in the dCMS material). Fortunately, everyone got a cool (1) or an exciting (2) topic according to their judgement. You can start working your way through the material right away. Regards, |

Registration
If you are interested in taking this seminar, please register after the 11.09.2024 on the faculty's page for seminar assignments: https://seminars.cs.uni-saarland.de/seminars2425.
Registration directly in the dCMS is not possible. You will receive a token from us to register in dCMS once you have been successfully assigned a slot in this seminar by the system.
Overview
As the world struggles with climate change, the computing sector's role as a source of greenhouse emissions (and other bad environmental impact) is steadily increasing. This seminar, co-located and co-hosted with the BOSS Team at Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB), explores the intersection of computer technology and sustainability—identifying the key challenges of and innovative solutions for a sustainable future with computers. We begin by looking at the origins of carbon emissions and learning to understand where emissions are caused. We then focus on known and new methods for measuring and modeling emissions in computer systems. Finally, we show ways in which systems and software can be adapted to become more sustainable.
Requirements: - Open for advanced Bachelor and any Master students.
- Ideally, you have taken courses from the "systems & software" domain: e.g. Data Networks, Operating Systems, Distributed Systems, Software Engineering.
Student Places: 8
Seminar procedure
The final goal of the seminar is to produce a book on sustainable computer systems, with the chapters being written by the students of this seminar. For this purpose, the seminar will be divided into two sprints of about 6 weeks, where in each sprint each student will be assigned a topic. The students task will be to create a presentation and present it to the other students of the seminar and finally write a chapter on this topic. In addition, students are given the task of revieweing other students and revising their own chapters based on the feedback they receive.

Important!
As we must synchronize with the Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB), the dates of the in-person meetings are already firm: Tuesdays from 14:00 to 16:00 German time (CEST until Su, 27.10., CET afterwards).
Attendance is compulsory (except in the case of illness or exams etc.); This seminar is not suitable for you if you cannot be present at these times.
No additional exceptions are possible.
Registration in LSF/HISPOS
You must register in LSF/HISPOS no later than 3 weeks after the kick-off event.
Otherwise we will not be able to record your grades at the end of the semester.
If your degree program does not use LSF/HISPOS, you will receive an old-fashioned paper certificate to present to your examination office.
Please contact us early regarding this.
