内容简介:
As environmental sustainability issues have come to the societal and governmental forefront, a new breed of Green Information Systems (IS)—Ultra-Large-Scale (ULS) Green IS—is emerging. The Smart Grid is one such example; its goal is to innovate the United States power generation and distribution system. A ULS Green IS is an open socio-technical ecosystem that differs from traditional IS in scale, complexity and urgency to enable environmental sustainability. ULS Green IS design challenges traditional system design methods in its need to deal with conflicting and unknowable requirements, emergent system behaviors, continuous evolution of processes and contexts, changing resources in real time, and a fluid system boundary. Design issues found in ULS systems, System of Systems, Edge-dominant, Metropolis systems and Green IS converge and multiply in the ULS Green IS context. Unfortunately, extant research on these systems is still in its infancy and offers little insight into the “how” for designing ULS Green IS.
