Measuring Software Sustainability from a Process-Centric Perspective

There is growing attention paid to the increasing in the global carbon dioxide production and to the subsequent issue of sustainability in ICT-related projects. But very few information and time has been spent right now for determining a set of related measures from sustainable processes. Moving from a new set of three sustainable processes in the SPICE (ISO/IEC 15504) format, this paper proposes a related approach for creating a sustainability measurement plan, with the aim to integrate further information elements for improving the decision-making process.
