Experiences from Applying the Karlskrona Manifesto Principles for Sustainability in Software System Design

Sustainability in software design is an evolving area that requires more practical guide on how software designers, developers and requirement engineers can elicit software sustain- ability requirements. The Karlskrona Manifesto for Sustainabil- ity Design (KMSD) principles serve as a common ground to guide and support sustainability in software design.However, there is little research as of now showing how these KMSD principles are applied in software requirements elicitation and software design in general. This paper presents some of our evaluation of how these KMSD principles, the software sustaina- bility requirement template and software sustainability require- ment best practice template were applied in two case studies by stakeholders (requirement engineers, CTO and software develop- ers)
