Current Challenges And Conceptual Model Of Green And Sustainable Software Engineering

Abstract

Software is a fundamental component in a rapidly advancing technological society. The science of software engineering is the utilization of a systematic, disciplined, quantifiable methodologies to deal with the development, operation, and maintenance of software and also the investigation of these methodologies which practically means how to apply engineering science to the application of software. Sustainability is turning into an essential point in information technology as commitment of information technology to uphold our Future, and as advancing business sector fragment. The issue of sustainability was not duly accounted for in the conventional and older software engineering field. Software engineers deal with particular themes that need to take into account sustainability, for instance, green IT, efficient algorithms, smart grids, agile practices and knowledge management, yet there does not exist a thorough comprehension of the idea of sustainability and if it can be incorporated to software engineering. Information communication technology hugely affects sustainable improvements because of its rising popularity for vitality and resource management required when producing hardware and software units. The ranking technique made 374 papers out of 11 different databases. In the wake of performing the exclusion measures, the set was diminished to 97 papers that were clearly identified with the models characterized for performing a composed survey. The purpose of current study is to recognize recent issues in green software engineering and examine the aspect of sustainable and create green software product to render a conceptual model of sustainable software engineering product to wind up even greener. Consequently, we recommend a technique to incorporate sustainability in product life cycle. Then, a conceptual model is rendered demonstrating the consolidated life cycles of sustainable product and principle sustainable measurement dimensions, such as energy or information efficiency, low cost and human health.
