DESCRIPTION
In this presentation the approach to address software sustainability evaluation is discussed. We believe that software sustainability is a complex business to be addressed by including the largest set of indicators from software development, use, maintenance and disposal.

Goals of the presentation
1. Discuss the Sustainability issue in general, more focus on the ‘product’ entity2. Introduce the Sustainability from a process-based viewpoint, for its evaluation by including the largest set of indicators from software development, use, maintenance and disposal

Introduction Sustainability – Definition & Concept
Sustainability (originating from the Latin word sustenere that means: ‘to hold up’) shows the capability of enduring over time.
In the last years sustainability is more and more intended as the responsible use of the heart resources in order to “meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs”

Assessing process sustainabilityISO/IEC 33000 series
• ISO/IEC 15504 provided requirements for a Process Assessment Model for Process Capability. • ISO/IEC 33000 series provides requirements a PAM for any quality characteristic of process. Including Sustainability

• Added a Process Attribute (PA) at SL1• Performance & Sustainability need to be both present at such level

What and how to measure Sustainability?Sustainability Indicators
• Any quality measurement should be based on a set of identified indicators
• To identify software sustainability indicators a systematic approach has been defined
• EAM (Entity-Attribute-Measure) approach could be a way

Conclusions && Future Works
• Measuring Sustainability (not only Capability) Measurement is fundamental for approximating the size of any entity of interest Measurement should be desirable also for processes, not only products/services Sustainability can be a further attribute to consider for evaluating a process
• Measurement Framework (MF) ISO/IEC 33000 series (from the old 15504) allows the definition of a MF for process
sustainability A MF for process sustainability has been proposed The presented MF for process sustainability can be applied in ISO/IEC 33000-
compliant process assessments• Sustainability Indicators
Balance the number of indicators and attribute to measure EAM (Entity-Attribute-Measure) Analysis Measure has a cost, but also a large informative value (Informative) Value is the goal to really improve our activities
