Sustainability

Sustainability is a hot topic at the moment, but what does it mean for computer science and engineering? Obviously, improvements in hardware systems aim to optimize efficiency and effectiveness, which should result in minimizing energy and resource usage, to make them more sustainable. But software plays a part too, as a tool to improve sustainability. Learn more about sustainability practices currently implemented in the field, and how we can approach one of the world’s biggest challenges using and improving technology in the articles below.

Sustainability Design in Industry and Academia

A widely used approach for sustainability design, the Sustainability Analysis Framework (SusAF), is applied in three cases, two industrial and one in academia. Following an exploratory, multiple case study research with workshops, interviews, and participant observations, this study discusses the experiences of applying SusAF.
