The Blind Men and the Elephant: Towards an Empirical Evaluation Framework for Software Sustainability
Colin C. Venters,Lydia Lau,Michael K. Griffiths,Violeta Holmes,Rupert Ward,Caroline Jay,Charlie E. Dibsdale,Jie Xu +7 more
TL;DR: A definition of software sustainability is proposed and how it can be measured empirically in the design and engineering process of software systems is considered.
Software Sustainability: The Modern Tower of Babel
Colin C. Venters,Caroline Jay,Lydia Lau,Michael K. Griffiths,Violeta Holmes,Rupert Ward,Jim Austin,Charlie E. Dibsdale,Jie Xu +8 more
TL;DR: The preliminary analysis suggests that the concept of software sustainability is complex and multifaceted with any consensus towards a shared definition within the field of software engineering yet to be achieved.
