Title: Software Development toolKit for Energy optimization and technical Debt elimination

Acronym: SDK4ED

Objectives:

The main goal of the project is to minimize cost, time and complexity of low-energy software development processes, by providing tools for automatic optimization of both software quality and non-functional requirements such as energy efficiency, dependability and performance, with the capacity to tackle the interplay between design quality and run-time constraints.

Expected results:

Defining a set of methods and tools for monitoring processes for early identification of design flaws, energy consumption indicators, and security vulnerabilities, with respect to the targeted hardware platform and non-functional requirements
Estimation of costs and limitations associated with technical debt (TD) liabilities in the entire software stack
Providing toolkits for assessing project management decisions with respect to the choices of repaying TD, under the constraints imposed on energy consumption and security
Implementation of solutions in three industry-driven distinct but complementary industries: aviation, health and automotive
Illustrating the importance and benefits introduced by proper technical debt (TD) management in the development of applications that require the optimization of energy consumption
