Validation Study of a Framework for Sustainable Software System Design and Development

Sustainability in software design is an evolving area that requires more practical guidance on how software engineers and businesses could innovate and design software systems that consider sustainability as a guiding principle for supporting a sustainable environment, reducing the negative impact of ICT and at the same time promoting software system design for sustainability. This paper presents our early results for validating a Framework for Sustainability of Software System Design (FSSSD) based on the Software Sustainability Design Catalogue (SSDC). The SSDC exemplifies the use of Karlskrona Manifesto principles for sustainability design and how to promote sustainability design principles for software systems.
