Abstract: Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important topic. Information Technology (IT) is an important factor for sustainability; it consumes a substantial, and growing, part of the world supply of energy, but it can also enable significant insights and improvements related to sustainability. These factors need to be taken into account in the design of IT systems, meaning that we need to architect for sustainability. This paper provides insights into the experience and beliefs of IT practitioners and researchers into current and desired practices of architecting for sustainability. It reports on the results of three workshop sessions with practitioners and researchers, providing insight into the state of research and practice.
