Book title: Resource-awareness and Sustainability in Computing
Subtitle. Selected results from the CERCIRAS COST Action CA19135
(B) Short Book Description
The book presents selected research findings on resource-awareness, skills, and sustainability in computing, developed under the CERCIRAS COST Action: Connecting Education and Research Communities for an Innovative Resource-Aware Society (COST Action no. CA19135, https://www.cerciras.org/).
CERCIRAS CA19135 aimed to promote resource-awareness in computing beyond traditional research, education, and technology areas and boundaries. CERCIRAS has fostered research and innovation across geographical and disciplinary boundaries, supporting the development of skills and expertise, and facilitating knowledge and technology transfer between academia and industry.
The book combines state-of-the-art surveys with novel research in resource-awareness and sustainability in computing. These research- and innovation-oriented chapters are complemented by educational (learning-oriented) chapters focused on skill-building in this area, as well as case studies and benchmarks from both industry and academia. The book concludes with chapters offering best practices and identifying open challenges in resource-awareness, skills, and sustainability in computing.
Dedicated chapters explore resource-aware computing, optimisation models, relevant algorithms, techniques, and applications in disciplines such as computer science, environmental science, and engineering. Furthermore, the book provides insights into interdisciplinary connections among resources and problem-solving approaches, highlighting how common resource-awareness challenges can be addressed using unified methodologies across various fields.

(C) Book Context, Plan
(i) Keywords (in order of preference): resources, resource-aware processing/computing, resource-aware optimization, computing in resource management, sustainable computing,
green computing
(ii) Disciplines (prioritized): Computer Science, Environmental Science, Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Applied Statistics, Artificial Intelligence
(iii) Summary:
The book explores the large theme of resource-aware and sustainable computing, optimization models, algorithms, techniques and applications across disciplines, including but not limited to computer science, environmental science and engineering. The book also provides perspectives on how transversal resource-related problems may be solved with uniform approaches.
The book presents selected proceeds from the CERCIRAS Cost Action – Connecting Education and Research Communities for an Innovative Resource Aware Society, COST Action no. CA19135 https://www.cerciras.org/, collating knowledge, experiences, and use cases from that action.
