The USENIX Association is one of the premier groups addressing research issues in information technology and systems (e.g., the LISA conference, OSDI, FAST, NSDI, and more). USENIX recently created the Workshop on Sustainable Information Technology (SustainIT 2010). This proposal requests funding to assist approximately 15 U.S.-based graduate students to attend this first workshop. This workshop brings together researchers and industry practitioners in a forum which presents the latest research and practices. The workshop will discuss energy-related issues and their tradeoffs (e.g., security, performance, reliability, etc.--all vs. energy). The workshop especially encourages papers which discuss not just energy issues alone, but how they interact with other dimensions, and look at the overall long-term sustainability of computing. The scope of this workshop is broad, covering research, theory, hardware, software, applications, techniques, etc.--all related to making computing systems greener, from construction to use to disposal. Participation in SustainIT and similar conferences is a valuable and vital part of the graduate school experience. It provides students with the opportunity to interact with more senior researchers in the field, and exposes students to leading edge work in the field. Such a workshop can steer students to a life-long involvement with sustainability topics, and create a new workforce for decades to come. This is all the more urgent given the importance of sustainability for humanity as a whole.

USENIX协会是解决信息技术和系统研究问题的主要团体之一（例如，丽莎会议、OSDI、FAST、NSDI等）。USENIX最近创建了可持续信息技术研讨会（SustainIT 2010）。该提案要求提供资金，以帮助大约15个美国-参加第一次研讨会的研究生。 该研讨会将研究人员和行业从业人员聚集在一个论坛上，介绍最新的研究和实践。讲习班将讨论与能源有关的问题及其权衡（例如，安全性、性能、可靠性等等--所有相对于能量）。研讨会特别鼓励那些不仅讨论能源问题，而且讨论它们如何与其他方面相互作用，并着眼于计算的整体长期可持续性的论文。本次研讨会的范围很广，涵盖研究、理论、硬件、软件、应用、技术等--所有这些都与使计算系统从建造到使用再到处置更加环保有关。 参加SustainIT和类似的会议是研究生院经验的宝贵和重要的一部分。它为学生提供了与该领域更高级的研究人员互动的机会，并使学生接触到该领域的前沿工作。这样的研讨会可以引导学生终身参与可持续发展主题，并在未来几十年创造新的劳动力。鉴于可持续性对整个人类的重要性，这一点就更加紧迫。
