Enhancing Software Engineering Processes towards Sustainable Software Product Design.

The power consumption of ICT is still increasing. T o date, it is not clear if the energy savings throu gh ICT overbalance the energy consumption by ICT, or not. Where manifold efforts of Green IT address the environment al aspects of sustainability considering computer hardware, th ere is a lack of models, descriptions, or realizati ons in the area of computer software. In this paper, we propose a gene ric software development process enhancement that has the potential to integrate the consideration of sustainab ility aspects into arbitrary software development m ethodologies.
