Software architecture practices encompass themethods and techniques that enable software designers and developers to createdesigns that strike the right balance among competing quality attributes, suchas modifiability, performance, availability, and security.

However, the quality of energy efficiency isoften overlooked. This refers to the ability of software to perform its taskswhile consuming minimal energy. Reducing energy consumption not only cuts costsbut also contributes to a more sustainable future.

In this talk, I willprovide concrete advice and techniques at both the software architecture anddesign levels, as well as programming practices that can effectively reduceenergy consumption.
