Towards a Software Product Sustainability Model
This work tackles the problem of defining and measuring software sustainability for developers and organizations, but it appears incremental as it builds on existing GreenIT concepts.
The paper addresses the lack of a clear definition and evaluation method for software sustainability, proposing a model to assess it in both development processes and usage.
The necessity to adapt current products and services into a way of working environmentally friendly is already a social and economic demand. Although the GreenIT can be considered a mature discipline, software sustainability, both in its process and its use, has not begun to be a topic of interest until the last few years. In this sense we think is fundamental to define what we consider that is software sustainability and how to evaluate it properly.
