We are happy to share that our short paper on “Exploring the Potential of Carbon-Aware Execution for Scientific Workflows” was accepted for publication in the proceedings of the “25th IEEE International Symposium on Cluster, Cloud and Internet Computing”, and was presented in person, in Tromsø in May 2025.

In the paper, we demonstrated the potential for carbon-aware workflow execution, experimentally evaluating the impact of carbon-aware temporal shifting, pausing and resuming and resource scaling using various real Nextflow workflows, compute infrastructure, and energy grid data.

While we are actively working on expanding this work, the camera-ready short paper is available on arXiv, with the results repository also available on GitHub.
