With the proliferation of computing technologies in our society, software plays an increasingly prominent role in contributing to and solving sustainability challenges. Despite its importance, however, sustainability remains a poorly understood concept among developers, with a general lack of tools, knowledge, and techniques that can be used to design and validate software systems that account for sustainability. This project aims to elevate sustainability as a first-class quality attribute of software that can be explicitly analyzed and designed for and to empower developers with methods for building sustainability into their systems. In addition, this project contributes novel design strategies and patterns that can influence the behavior of users towards sustainable use of computing products. The outcome of this project lays a foundation for further research in software engineering techniques and methodologies for sustainable computing.To develop an in-depth understanding of sustainability challenges in software engineering, the first step in this project involves an empirical investigation of software applications in emerging, sustainability-relevant domains such as cyber-physical systems, IoT and mobile systems. Next, based on the outcome of this study, the project employs well-established requirements engineering methods to define sustainability as a collection of quality attributes, scenarios, and metrics. Finally, building on this definition, the project develops a catalog of design strategies and patterns that developers can use to build sustainability into their system as an explicit goal. This project also aims to establish a community of researchers in software engineering and other disciplines to encourage increased future activities in sustainability research.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

随着计算技术在社会中的普及，软件在促进和解决可持续发展挑战方面发挥着越来越重要的作用。然而，尽管可持续性很重要，但开发人员对它仍然知之甚少，普遍缺乏可用于设计和验证可持续性软件系统的工具、知识和技术。该项目旨在将可持续性提升为软件的一流质量属性，可以对其进行明确的分析和设计，并为开发人员提供将可持续性构建到其系统中的方法。此外，该项目还提供了新颖的设计策略和模式，可以影响用户的行为，以实现计算产品的可持续使用。该项目的成果为可持续计算的软件工程技术和方法论的进一步研究奠定了基础。为了深入了解软件工程中的可持续性挑战，该项目的第一步涉及对网络物理系统、物联网和移动系统等新兴的可持续发展相关领域的软件应用进行实证研究。接下来，根据本研究的结果，该项目采用完善的需求工程方法将可持续性定义为质量属性、场景和指标的集合。最后，基于这个定义，该项目开发了一系列设计策略和模式，开发人员可以使用这些策略和模式将可持续性作为明确的目标构建到他们的系统中。该项目还旨在建立一个软件工程和其他学科的研究人员社区，以鼓励未来增加可持续性研究的活动。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
