Abstract

Software affects society and environment in a variety of ways. In addition to the energy and resource requirements driven by software products, social factors are to be mentioned as sustainability-relevant aspects. In order to support software developers in creating products that can be positively assessed from a sustainability point of view, the question of practically usable assistance arises in this context. With this aim, in this paper the methodological approach of design patterns is examined. It is discussed how sustainability patterns can be described in a structured way and how they can be incorporated into practical software engineering processes. Particular attention is paid to aspects of completeness and consistency of the descriptions as well as the explicit inclusion of human action. It is recommended to provide pattern descriptions with a high formalization degree in order to enable verifiability for logical plausibility and completeness and to allow further machine-assisted processing. Prospectively appropriate pattern repositories could be set up to support practical software product development processes in the future.
