"The book helps the reader understand the essential difference between green information technology (IT) and green software engineering. ... the book is an outstanding first work that will likely serve as a basis for future research and guidance in the area of green software engineering." (Sandhya Jane, Computing Reviews, October, 2015) "An overview of numerous green aspects of software engineering is provided in this book. ... This is one of the first detailed overviews of green aspects in software engineering. ... it can be recommended to all readers interested in the field regardless of previous knowledge." (M. Ivanovic, Computing Reviews, September, 2015)
