Sustainability has emerged as a broad concern for society. Many engineering disciplines have been grappling with challenges in how we sustain technical, social and ecological systems. In the software community, example, maintainability long time. But too often, these issues are treated isolation from one another. Misperceptions among practitioners research communities persist, rooted lack of coherent understanding sustainability, it relates to systems practice. This article presents...

Sustainability is now a major concern in society, but there little understanding of how it perceived by software engineering professionals and sustainability design can become an embedded part process. This paper presents the results qualitative study exploring requirements practitioners' perceptions attitudes towards sustainability. It identifies obstacles mitigation strategies regarding application principles daily work life. The this reveal several factors that prevent from becoming first...

Desmosomes are adhesive cell contacts abundant in tissues exposed to mechanical strain, such as the stratified and simple epithelia of epidermis mucous membranes, well myocardium. Besides their role cohesion, desmosomes also modulate pathways important for tissue differentiation, wound healing immune responses. Dysfunctional desmosomes, resulting from pathogenic variants genes encoding desmosomal components, autoantibodies targeting adhesion molecules or inflammation, cause life-threatening...

An increasing number of institutions throughout the world face legal obligations or business needs to collect and preserve digital objects over several decades. A range tools exists today support variety preservation strategies such as migration emulation. Yet, different requirements across settings make decision on which solution implement very diffcult.

Interactive fiction and video games are part of our cultural heritage. As original systems cease to work because hardware media failures, methods preserve obsolete for future generations have be developed. The public interest in early is high, as exhibitions, regular magazines on the topic newspaper articles demonstrate. Moreover, considered classic rereleased new gaming hardware. However, with rapid development computer systems, way look played changes constantly. When trying console one...

Participation is key to building an equitable, realistic and democratic future. Yet a lack of agency in decision making agenda-setting growing phenomenon the design digital public services. We call this pseudo-participation by design. The configuration artifacts and/or processes can provide illusion participation but supportive affordances allow meaningful happen. This exploratory paper examines realm services through two concepts: 1) design, interfaces, tools that people, 2) which those...

We as software engineers are responsible for the long-term consequences of systems we design—including impacts on wider environmental and societal sustainability. However, field lacks analytical tools understanding these potential while designing a system or identifying opportunities using to bring about broader transformations. This article explores how concept leverage points can be used make sustainability issues more tangible in design. The example transportation illustrates help map out...

As part of global climate action, digital technologies are seen as a key enabler energy efficiency savings. A popular application domain for this work is smart homes. There risk, however, that these gains result in rebound effects , which reduce or even overcompensate the Rebound well-established economics, but it less clear whether they also inform research other disciplines. In paper, we ask: to what extent have and their underlying mechanisms been considered computing, HCI home research?...

Requirements articulating the needs of stakeholdersare critical to successful system development and key influencing their long-term effects. As concept sustainability has entered discourse a number software-related computing fields, so term 'sustainability requirement'. However, it is unclear whether requirements areand should be different from how we already understand softwarerequirements.

The increasing use and prominence of web archives raises the urgency establishing mechanisms for transparency in making to facilitate process evaluating a archive's provenance, scoping, absences. Some choices events are captured automatically, but their interactions not currently well understood or documented. This study examined decision space its role shaping what is archiving process. By comparing how three different collections were created documented, we investigate curatorial decisions...

The accelerating development and deployment of AI technologies depend on the continued ability to scale their infrastructure. This has implied increasing amounts monetary investment natural resources. Frontier applications have thus resulted in rising financial, environmental, social costs. While factors that scaling depends reach its limits, push for accelerated advancement entrenchment continues. In this paper, we provide a holistic review using four lenses (technical, economic,...

Technical Debt arises from decisions that favour short-term outcomes at the cost of longer-term disadvantages. They may be taken knowingly or based on missing incomplete awareness costs; they are in different roles, situations, stages and ways. Whatever technical business factor motivate such decisions, always imply a trade-off time, 'now vs. later'. How exactly made, how have been studied?
