Joining me this time were Kathleen West, James Nurdin, Youssef Moawad, Giulio Attenni, and Magnus Reid.

I am very lucky to get to work with such a bright and friendly group of young researchers at Glasgow! 😊

I believe that research works best as a team sport, with all the obvious benefits, and think that teams work best when there are chances to get to know each other away from the desks from time to time. For example, when there is a tricky flat tire to fix together midway through a bike trip... 🚲 🌬️ 🔧

We had a fantastic away day as the Carbon-Conscious Computing lab (lauritzthamsen.org/lab/) of the University of Glasgow last week! 💻 ☁️ 🌱 In keeping with our mission, we took our bikes out for a ride around the Isle of Bute! 🚉 ⛴️ 🌊

Many thanks to Chris Anagnostopoulos for the kind invitation to attend and to the whole organizing team and many volunteers for the fantastic conference in Glasgow! 🙏

Always so good to meet colleagues in person – some for the first time, some again after a while! 😊

I had a great time at IEEE #ICDCS 2025. First time that I attended a conference without a talk or helping to organize, so this was a new experience! Of course, also rather nice to attend a top conference after 10 minutes on public transport (and after dropping off the wee one at nursery too ☺️)

1/4: If you are at #IEEE #CCGrid 2025 in #Tromsø next week, catch Jonathan, Fabian, and Kathleen (@westkath.bsky.social) presenting joint work! 📰🧵👇

Very happy to share the program of the 3rd edition of our Distributed IoT Systems Testing Workshop #TDIS2025, as it will take place at the end of this month with ACM EuroSys and ASPLOS. Come along, if you will be around, for the five paper presentations and two keynote talks! 💻📡🚐🚆🏙️🎛️

Next week, around #Neurodiversity #Celebration #Week 2025, a few colleagues from UofG's CoSE College and I are offering #Disability Office Hours. Have a look here, lnkd.in/ePS2hpHN, if you're a CoSE student or staff and you'd like to take up this offer for a friendly, supportive chat! 🙂

1: We are organizing our International Workshop on Testing Distributed IoT Systems (#TDIS2025) again! For the third time now and this time with #EuroSys and #ASPLOS next year at the end of March in Rotterdam!

It’s been two weeks since we held the 1st International Workshop on Low-Carbon Computing (LOCO), and I'm still buzzing. It was so good to see this community come together, hear about all the interesting ideas and early results, and witness how many care deeply about computer system sustainability! 🧵

Our Low Carbon Computing workshop #LOCO2024 is taking place now in Glasgow and online! We already had a nice keynote chat with Anne Currie and now we are in the first regular session on Energy Efficiency! 💻🔬🌱

It includes links to all the accepted extended abstracts and also some lightning talk abstracts. Please have a look below for a quick glimpse of what we have to look forward to, and visit the website if you would like to read the work we have accepted for presentation.

This semester I have the pleasure of teaching in Glasgow's wonderful Main Building, a treat not only on foggy days, but the atmosphere on Tuesday morning last week was unreal

Happy that our article on resource-efficient workflow profiling – to enable e.g. heterogeneous cluster scheduling, cloud cost estimation, and carbon-aware scheduling – was published in the January 2024 issue of Future Generation Computer Systems (FGCS 150): doi.org/10.1016/j.fu... 🔬📃✨
