Interestingly, this massive IoT growth poses sustainability challenges on its own mostly due to the increased maintenance operations, energy consumption (EC) to charge the IoT devices but also to store and process the massive amount of IoT data at the data and computing centers, and manufacturing/disposal of IoT devices, which may have long-term negative economical, societal, and environmental impacts.…”

Technology solutions must effectively balance economic growth, social equity, and environmental integrity to achieve a sustainable society. Notably, although the Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm constitutes a key sustainability enabler, critical issues such as the increasing maintenance operations, energy consumption, and manufacturing/disposal of IoT devices have long-term negative economic, societal, and environmental impacts and must be efficiently addressed. This calls for self-sustainable IoT ecosystems requiring minimal external resources and intervention, effectively utilizing renewable energy sources, and recycling materials whenever possible, thus encompassing energy sustainability. In this work, we focus on energy-sustainable IoT during the operation phase, although our discussions sometimes extend to other sustainability aspects and IoT lifecycle phases. Specifically, we provide a fresh look at energysustainable IoT and identify energy provision, transfer, and energy efficiency as the three main energyrelated processes whose harmonious coexistence pushes toward realizing self-sustainable IoT systems. Their main related technologies, recent advances, challenges, and research directions are also discussed. Moreover, we overview relevant performance metrics to assess the energy-sustainability potential of a certain technique, technology, device, or network, together with target values for the next generation of wireless systems, and discuss protocol, integration, and implementation issues. Overall, this paper offers insights that are valuable for advancing sustainability goals for present and future generations.

“…the one by Koziolek on sustainability evaluation metrics for software architectures [16], or the ones on the sustainability of reference architectures [17] and their description [18]. Verdecchia et al [19] discuss technical in combination with economic sustainability in the context of architectural technical debt, while Volpato et al [20] and Grua et al [21] look into the implications of software architecture on the social dimension. No systematic survey so far, to the extent of our knowledge, attempts to organize the state of the art of sustainability in software architecture across all sustainability dimensions and architecting activities.…”

Sustainability is an increasingly-studied topic in software engineering in general, and in software architecture in particular. There are already a number of secondary studies addressing sustainability in software engineering, but no such study focusing explicitly on software architecture. This work aims to fill this gap by conducting a systematic mapping study on the intersection between sustainability and software architecture research with the intention of (i) reflecting on the current state of the art, and (ii) identifying the needs for further research. Our results show that, overall, existing works have focused disproportionately on specific aspects of sustainability, and in particular on the most technical and "inward facing" ones. This comes at the expense of the holistic perspective required to address a multi-faceted concern such as sustainability. Furthermore, more reflection-oriented research works, and better coverage of the activities in the architecting life cycle are required to further the maturity of the area. Based on our findings we then propose a research agenda for sustainability-aware software architecture.
