Karlskrona Manifesto: Software Requirement Engineering Good Practices

Manifestos in the history of computer science and software engineering have framed guiding principles upon which processes, methods and tools were developed. The Karlskrona Manifesto for Sustainability Design serves this same purpose as a guide for designing and developing sustainable software systems. The goal of this paper is to explore the derivation of good practices by applying the Karlskrona principles in sustainability requirements elicitation. How can the Karlskrona manifesto be translated into methods, processes and tools in the software requirements engineering domain? The result is a proposed list of best practices for software sustainability requirements elicitation. This will facilitate the application of the Karlskrona manifesto for sustainability requirements elicitation and engineering.
