Co-Creating Sustainable Systems

Student thesis: Doc typesDoctor of Sciences

Abstract

This research aims at enhancing co-creative Requirements Engineering (RE) processes, and studying whether their application leads to building more sustainable systems - or not. To achieve this goal, we develop a new combined understanding of creativity and sustainability in RE, and then propose and evaluate techniques inspired by the Improvisational Theatre (improv) world for better co-creation in RE. Despite a clear focus on RE, we will suggest that many of the observations, analysis and conclusions included in this work may have a broader application than solely for RE.
