Business Process Design: Towards Service- Based Green Information Systems

摘要

This paper discusses the impact of energy consumption on information systems and business processes design. The goal is the development of context-aware and sustainable information systems where energy consumption reduction is considered at the technological level, on the basis of adaptable technology, on the governance level, with the design of context-aware processes and data, and at the strategic level. The adoption of a service-oriented approach and the interconnection among the different levels are discussed.
