Abstract:
Green Software Engineering is a research area gaining reputation rapidly in order to create green software. Software development multi-sourcing is a modern Global Software Engineering (GSE) pattern for creating high quality software at minimum cost and time at low wages countries by contracting out the software development work to multiple vendors located at multiple geographical locations across the globe. Green Software multi-sourcing is a modern research area which lies at the intersection of both the aforementioned research areas (Green Software Engineering and Software Multi-Sourcing). The goal of this paper is to present the systematic literature review (SLR) protocol which has been developed, validated and in the process of implementation. The implementation of the SLR protocol will yield in the identification of success/risk factors, and real-world green practices to be considered by multi-sourcing vendor organizations that can contribute towards the development of green and sustainable software. Systematic Literature Review procedure has been used as research practice. SLR is a new research method in software engineering which is dissimilar from conventional literature analysis. SLR is more comprehensive and is grounded on a pre-defined protocol. We have developed a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) protocol and are currently in the process of its implementation. The anticipated conclusions of the SLR execution will be the identification of success/risk factors and practices that can contribute towards the development of green software in multi-sourced projects.
