Future-proofing: Making Practice-Based IT Design Sustainable
Autor Carla Simone, Ina Wagner, Claudia Müller, Anne Weibert, Volker Wulfen Limba Engleză Hardback – 3 feb 2022
Adresat arhitecților de sistem, managerilor tehnici și cercetătorilor din domeniul interacțiunii om-calculator, Future-proofing analizează o problemă critică în dezvoltarea software contemporană: viabilitatea pe termen lung a soluțiilor rezultate din proiecte de cercetare cu resurse finite. Remarcăm o abordare tehnică riguroasă a conceptului de „future-proofing”, definit aici nu doar prin mentenanță, ci prin capacitatea artefactelor IT de a genera efecte pozitive durabile în viața cotidiană și profesională a utilizatorilor, chiar și după ce dezvoltarea activă a încetat.
Structura volumului se bazează pe date empirice colectate de la grupuri de cercetare din Europa, America de Nord și Africa de Sud. Credem că valoarea practică a lucrării rezidă în identificarea sistematică a impedimentelor care blochează sustenabilitatea și în formularea unor recomandări concrete pentru a le depăși. Pe linia practică a lucrării Sustainable Design de Tomayess Issa, dar cu focus pe designul IT bazat pe practică, acest volum depășește sfera teoretică pentru a oferi un cadru metodologic de evaluare a durabilității.
Această lucrare reprezintă o evoluție firească în opera colectivă a autorilor Carla Simone și Volker Wulf, ale căror contribuții anterioare în volume precum ECSCW 2009 sau Communities and Technologies 2005 au pus bazele înțelegerii sistemelor colaborative. Dacă lucrările lor precedente se concentrau pe coordonare și managementul cunoștințelor, Future-proofing extinde analiza către responsabilitatea etică și ecologică a designerului de software într-o lume cu resurse limitate. Reținem orientarea clară către soluții implementabile care să transforme designul dintr-o activitate punctuală într-un proces sustenabil.

De ce să citești această carte
Recomandăm această carte managerilor tehnici și designerilor care doresc să depășească modelul dezvoltării software de tip „proiect-și-abandon”. Cititorul câștigă acces la strategii validate internațional pentru a construi sisteme IT reziliente, care rămân funcționale și relevante social pe termen lung. Este o resursă esențială pentru a înțelege cum deciziile de design influențează direct sustenabilitatea ecologică și socială a produselor digitale.
Despre autor
Autorii acestui volum, printre care se numără Carla Simone, Ina Wagner și Volker Wulf, sunt figuri centrale în comunitatea academică internațională dedicată Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW). Cu o vastă experiență documentată în publicații de referință precum Knowledge Management in Action, aceștia au explorat timp de decenii modul în care tehnologia poate sprijini comunitățile de practică și munca integrată. Expertiza lor colectivă îmbină informatica, științele sociale și designul participativ, oferind o perspectivă multidisciplinară asupra modului în care sistemele informatice pot fi integrate organic în structurile sociale complexe, asigurând în același timp o sustenabilitate reală a artefactelor tehnologice create.
Descriere
Innovative research solutions increasingly require deep engagement with practitioners to manage the complex problems they are attempting to solve. This often project-based research is equipped with finite resources over a limited period without much thought into future-proofing the practice. These projects must face questions of what happens when a product comes to an end and whether there are any lasting positive effects once the IT systems are no longer beingactively developed. From a computing perspective, the challenge is to design IT artifacts that contribute to improving the user's work and everyday life in a sustainable way, thereby also contributing to social and ecological sustainability. Future-Proofing: Making Practice-Based IT Design Sustainable documents the experiences made by several leading research groups in Europe, North America, and South Africa. It describes their efforts to achieve sustainable design results, the difficulties that barred the way but also the strategies they adopted to achieve the goal of sustainability. The analysis of these cases has inspired thinking about how to more systematically address and possibly overcome the impediments tosustainability.This book develops a strong future-oriented perspective that conceptualizes sustainability as a complex and highly variegated issue and formulates insights and recommendations with a view to help researchers to better design for sustainability.
Notă biografică
Carla Simone is a recognized European academic in the field of design of collaborative technologies. Her early research interests concerned ICT languages and architectures and the modelling of organizational processes. Since the '90, her research in the CSCW (Computer Supported Cooperative Work) area focuses on field studies to shape the design of malleable collaborative technologies and their modular architectures. She contributed to numerous books and authored over100 papers on the above issues with a special focus on the relationship between users and ICT professionals in design. Until September 2015 she was full professor at the University of Milano Bicocca where she leaded the Computer Science curricula for several years. She currently holds a visitingposition at the University of Siegen.Ina Wagner is a leading European academic in the field of work and technology. Her research in the area of CSCW (Computer Supported Cooperative Work) and PD (Participatory Design) focuses on the study of work practices and the design of supporting technologies. She engaged early on in analysing ethical and political aspects of ICT, with a focus on medical technologies. She has edited and written numerous books and authored over 160 papers on a variety of technology-related issues, amongst themcomputer-support of hospital work and of architectural design and planning, participatory design, and a feminist perspective in science and technology. Until September 2011 she was Head of the Institute for Technology Assessment and Design, Vienna University of Technology. She currently holds avisiting position at the University of Siegen.Claudia Müller is assistant professor of information systems, especially IT for the ageing society, at the University of Siegen, Germany, and a professor of Careum Health Research at the Kalaidos University of Applied Sciences, Switzerland. Her research focus is on the co-production of digital tools to promote empowerment and social and digital participation in the health & ageing sector. Prof. Müller is deputy chair of the expert commission of the Eighth Ageing Report "Ageing& Digitalisation" of the German federal government, co-chair of the expert committee "Education and Digitalisation in Old Age" of the German federal ministry of family affairs and co-chair of the expert committee "Age and Technology" of the German Society for Gerontology and Geriatrics.Anne Weibert is a research associate at the Institute for Information Systems and New Media, University of Siegen. Her research interest is in computer-based collaborative project work and inherent processes of technology appropriation, intercultural learning and community-building. She has conducted participatory design works with children and adults, and vulnerable populations including refugees in socially and culturally diverse settings.Volker Wulf is a professor for Information Systems and New Media at the University of Siegen. He is also the Managing Director of the School of Media and Information (iSchool) at the University of Siegen. Wulf had visiting appointments at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of Michigan, and Stanford University. Since 2018 he is a member of the CHI-Academy. His research interests lie primarily in the area of Socio-Informatics, taking a practice-based approach to the design of ITsystems in real-world settings. This includes the development of innovative applications in the areas of cooperation systems, knowledge management and community support. One special focus lies on flexible software architecture which can be adapted by end-users. Further research focuses on methods ofuser-oriented software development and introduction processes.
