Designing Sustainable IT System – From the Perspective of Universal Design Principles
, 2013
"... Since the concept of universal design is already extending the boundary of disabilities, it is significant to include different aspects of information technology where universal design enabled efforts can contribute towards better designed systems, products and services. Sustainability is an importa ..."

is an important and growing public concern in today’s world. Nevertheless, attempts of designing IT system that can be called sustainable in nature are not so evident at present. In this paper we propose a framework originating from sustainable IT system design principles (also described in the paper
Perspectives: Complex Adaptations and the Evolution of Evolvability
, 1996
"... The problem of complex adaptations is studied in two largely disconnected research traditions: evolutionary biology and evolutionary computer science. This paper summarizes the results from both areas and compares their implications. In evolutionary computer science it was found that the Darwinian p ..."

process of mutation, recombination and selection is not universally effective in improving complex systems like computer programs or chip designs. For adaptation to occur, these systems must possess "evolvability", i.e. the ability of random variations to sometimes produce improvement
Three Factors in Language Design
- LINGUISTIC INQUIRY
, 2005
"... The biolinguistic perspective regards the language faculty as an ‘‘organ of the body,’ ’ along with other cognitive systems. Adopting it, we expect to find three factors that interact to determine (I-) languages attained: genetic endowment (the topic of Universal Grammar), experience, and principles ..."

Brite: Universal topology generation from a user’s perspective
, 2001
"... Effective engineering of the Internet is predicated upon a detailed understanding of issues such as the large-scale structure of its underlying physical topology, the manner in which it evolves over time, and the way in which its constituent components contribute to its overall function. Unfortunate ..."

of topology models, it is an open question as to how representative the topologies they generate are of the actual Internet. Our goal is to produce a topology generation framework which improves the state of the art and is based on design principles which include representativeness, inclusiveness
A Cautionary Perspective on Cross Layer Design
- IEEE Wireless Communication Magazine
, 2005
"... findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this publication are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the above agencies. 1 DRAFT Recently, in an effort to improve the performance of wireless networks, there has been increased interest in protocols which rel ..."

layer interac-tions can have undesirable consequences on overall system performance. We illustrate them by certain cross layer schemes loosely based on recent proposals. We attempt to distill a few general principles for cross layer design. Moreover, unbridled cross layer design can lead to spaghetti
HCI and Society: Towards a Typology of Universal Design Principles
- In International Journal of Human-Computer Interaction
"... The task of this article is to focus on aspects of design from a theoretical perspec-tive that works out a general framework of techno-social design that is grounded in the notion of the participatory, cooperative, sustainable information society. The approach is normative in that it is based on the ..."

Principles of Component-Based Design of Intelligent Agents
- Data and Knowledge Engineering
, 2002
"... Compositional multi-agent system design is a methodological perspective on multiagent system design based on the software engineering principles process and knowledge abstraction, compositionality, reuse, specification and verification. This paper addresses these principles from a generic perspec ..."

Designing Information Systems for Sustainability - The Role of Universal Design and Open Innovation
"... Abstract. Although sustainability is a key concern in today's world, more efforts towards achieving sustainability are needed. User inclusion in the information system design process could enhance the outcome of a system's action towards sustainability. It is, however, important to unders ..."

A framework denominating as the inclusive innovation framework presented in this paper incorporated analyses from open innovation, universal design, and sustainability to motivate the initiation of internal and external driving factors
Agroecology: principles and strategies for designing sustainable farming systems.
, 2005
"... The concept of sustainable agriculture is a relatively recent response to the decline in the quality of the natural resource base associated with modern agriculture (McIsaac and Edwards 1994). Today, the question of agricultural production has evolved from a purely technical one to a more complex on ..."

Architecture Unplugged: The Teaching of the Principles, Needs and Calculation Procedures for Sustainable Housing Design
"... ABSTRACT: The role of architectural education as a means of introducing new generations of architects to the principles and practices of sustainable architecture is becoming highly significant. There is a need, therefore, to effectively integrate sustainability considerations in the design education ..."
