Achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) demands a shift by industry, governments, society, and individuals to reach adequate levels of awareness actions address sustainability challenges. Software systems will play an important role in moving towards these targets. Sustainability skills are necessary support development software provide sustainable IT-supported services for citizens. While there is growing number academic bodies including education engineering computer science...
To foster a sustainable society within environment, we must dramatically reshape our work and consumption activities, most of which are facilitated through software. Yet, software engineers hardly consider the effects on sustainability IT products services they deliver. This issue is exacerbated by lack methods tools for this purpose. Despite practical need that explicitly support consideration have their intended environments, such remain largely unavailable. Thus, urgent research needed to...
The world faces escalating crises: record-breaking temperatures, widespread fires, severe flooding, increased oceanic microplastics, and unequal resource distribution. Academia introduces courses around sustainability to meet the new demand, but software engineering education lags behind. While systems contribute environmental issues through high energy consumption, they also hold potential for solutions, such as more efficient equitable management. Yet, remains a low priority many...
Purpose This paper explores the “Western” concept of psychological capital in People's Republic China (PRC) and highlights critical areas divergence notable dimensions similarity. Design/methodology/approach is an empirical study conducted a wide range Chinese organisational forms, employing inductive approach based on incident technique. Findings research showed that appears to have degree applicability salience China. A series common Western organisations were found our research, including...
HEIs are well placed to engage with local communities, and can connect students organisations through several pathways, such as volunteering opportunities, placements, internships, or projects. The University of the West England, Bristol (UWE), their respective Students' Unions have been working in partnership city using HEFCE Catalyst funding promote student involvement sustainability activity during Bristol's year European Green Capital. Capital Student project has created a broad...
This paper discusses a PhD research project testing the hypothesis that using United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) [18] as explicit inputs to drive Software Requirements Engineering process will result in requirements with improved sustainability benefits. The has adopted Design Science Research Method (DSRM) [21] test named SDG Assessment for Elicitation (SDGARE). Three DSRM cycles are being used safety-critical, high-precision, software-intensive systems aerospace and...
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations focus on key issues for transformation our world towards sustainability.We argue stronger integration SDGs into requirements and software engineering creation methods tools that support analysis potential effects systems sustainability in general particular.To demonstrate one way undertaking this integration, we report how Sustainability Awareness Framework (SusAF -a tool developed by authors paper) can be mapped to SDGs,...
Principally associated with the field of ecology, topic sustainability has emerged as an increasingly important area research in a number sub-fields within domain computing including artificial intelligence, high-performance computing, human-computer interaction, requirements engineering, and scientific [9]. Within software been identified given modern society's high dependency on complex `dangerously fragile' systems, which operate evolving, distributed eco-systems [17].
Achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals demands adequate levels of awareness and actions to address sustainability challenges. Software systems will play an important role in moving towards these targets. Sustainability skills are necessary support development software provide sustainable IT-supported services for citizens. There is not yet comprehensive research on competencies required by IT professionals develop such systems. This study aims identify industrial needs education...
In this paper, we propose when and how to perform sustainability assessment during software product service inception, development, evolution. We explain the challenge of right timings for assessments, they are often delayed due missing focus on values early development phases. refer a current solution, called SusAF, discuss some its challenges. wrap up by advocating legal regulation supporting actual implementation assessments alike with required in civil engineering.
Abstract The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were adopted in 2015 by 193 countries. They can be characterised as sustainability ‘requirements’ for the global system. This paper provides a vision of how Multinational Companies (MNCs) are likely to experience SDGs and their implications Systems Engineering (SE) Enterprise. do not have status international law may implemented differently different countries over period 2030. MNCs will face choices about they wish comply...
This research explores the use of History to enhance education in field ICT For Sustainability ICT4S response a challenge from 2023 conference. No previous studies were found but literature on and Education for Sustainable Development is reviewed. An lecturer collaborated with lecturers add an historic parallel each weeks teaching Business Computing unit final year undergraduate BSc students. A list topics rationale provided. Student perceptions surveyed before after semi-structured...
Software engineering as a discipline has recognised that software systems can have an impact on sustainability, and researchers started to investigate this topic. New knowledge is being created methods, tools support for sustainability are emerging. Several universities train their students in sustainability. But what about the millions of SE practitioners who already designing developing future - how would they know making sustainable? Currently, there lack consolidated guidance. In paper,...
This paper describes the refactoring of INDICATOR to make it more scalable and suitable for One Health monitoring with human, veterinary, environmental data. We define new systems architecture a common data submission structure that can be used by all our healthcare partners independent type facility or species served.
