New possibilities and challenges have evolved in the setting of the software engineering sector’s rapid transition to Industry 5.0, wherein sustainability takes centre stage. Appropriate evaluation approaches are required for analysing the long-term viability of software engineering practices within this paradigm. This study proposes an innovative approach to evaluating sustainability in software engineering within Industry 5.0 by utilising the fuzzy technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (fuzzy TOPSIS) methodology. The fuzzy TOPSIS approach is effective at accounting for the inherent uncertainties as well as imprecisions related to sustainability assessments, allowing for informed decision-making. This approach helps in the recognition of the most sustainable software engineering practices in Industry 5.0 by taking into account a defined set of sustainability parameters. We rigorously analyse the current literature and expert views to provide an extensive set of relevant sustainability standards for the area of software engineering. Following that, we develop an evaluation methodology based on fuzzy TOPSIS that can handle the subjectivity as well as fuzziness inherent in sustainability evaluations. A case study with a software development company functioning in Industry 5.0 demonstrates the utility and efficacy of our suggested framework. The case study outcomes reveal the benefits and drawbacks of various software engineering methodologies in terms of sustainability. The study’s findings provide substantial information for decision-makers in the software engineering field, assisting them in making educated decisions about sustainable. Finally, this study helps to establish environmentally and socially appropriate techniques within the context of Industry 5.0.

Modeling the Development of Energy Network Software, Taking into Account the Detection and Elimination of Vulnerabilities

et al. 2023

This paper solves the problem of modeling the scheme for developing software systems, which can be used in building solutions for secure energy networks. A development scheme is proposed in a set of representations through which each program of the software complex passes, namely the following representations: idea, conceptual model, architecture, algorithm, source code, graphic code, abstract syntax tree, assembler code, machine code, byte code, executed code. The main properties of each representation are indicated, such as the form (text, graphic, programming language, binary, and decoded), development (transformation) methods, as well as vulnerabilities that are detected in it. An example of each representation is given, particularly as applied to the energy networks. The scheme elements (representations, vulnerabilities, forms, etc.) and the main operations for working with their elements (representation transformation, vulnerability injection, and detection) are presented in an analytical form. An example of a development scheme for a simple software complex of energy networks is given. The classification of vulnerabilities is introduced; it divides the vulnerabilities according to the structural level, functioning disruption, and information impact. The vulnerabilities in each of the views are substantiated using the common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVE) database. An experiment was conducted to demonstrate the vulnerability spread across representations during the development of a software complex example for the energy network. The features of the applications of the obtained results for energy networks are taken into account. The advantages, disadvantages, and limitations of the study, as well as ways to eliminate them, are discussed.

“…The study concluded that sustainability was an emerging concern in software engineering and that there was a need for more research on the integration of sustainability into software development processes and products. We also observed that there are numerous models [32,33] related to sustainable software, which are primarily classified as software product models [34] and software development process models [35][36][37][38][39][40]. The Green Software Engineering (GSE) model [41,42] was developed by researchers at the University of Sannio in Italy and focuses on integrating environmental sustainability into software development processes.…”

Sustainability has become a critical issue for the software industry as the environmental impact of software development and use increases. To address this issue, organizations need a framework for developing and accessing sustainable software practices. In this study, we reviewed the existing literature, models, and practices in this domain as well as carried out surveys and interviews to understand the reality, practices, and challenges on the ground. We identified a set of research questions to discover why sustainability is important, what actions can be taken to improve it, and how and when they can be implemented. This study highlighted the limitations of existing models and the need to address the research gaps. Existing research is limited by a narrow focus on specific domains such as the environment and energy or a specific phase of software development. We aim to address these through the proposed comprehensive software sustainability capability framework (SSCF), which provides a “ready reckoner”, allowing any organization to assess their current software sustainability and the capabilities and metrics they could focus on to improve sustainable software maturity. This paper also provides detailed assessment criteria, metrics, and a roadmap that can be used by any software organization to enhance their sustainability.
