Workshop program

Our workshop will start at 09:00 and is located at UCD O'Brien Centre for Science.. Rather than pre-defined discussion topics, we aim to spark conversation through submitted papers. We invite researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to contribute short papers (4–6 pages) exploring the intersection of software development, large language models (LLMs), and sustainability. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: energy-efficient code generation, empirical studies, datasets for LLM energy/resource profiling, and tools or prompting strategies to reduce LLM resource use. We welcome thought-provoking perspectives over polished results—novelty, relevance, and clarity are our main selection criteria. Accepted submissions will form the backbone of our interactive discussions throughout the day.

09:00 Opening

Everyone
Compiling challenges — participants introduce themselves and identify one key challenge they face regarding sustainability in LLM-assisted software development.
Hot topics — common themes are grouped and assigned to discussion tables.
Rapid problem solving — during 2-3 rounds, participants rotate between tables to brainstorm solutions or research directions for each topic.
16:15 Closure of the workshop
A short wrap-up session to reflect on the day and outline plans for future collaboration, including the post-workshop position paper.
