Information Systems (IS) as a discipline draws on diverse areas
including, technology, organisational theory, management and social
science. The field is recognized as very broad and encompassing
many themes and areas. However, the development of artefacts, or
information systems development (ISD), in the broadest sense, is a
central concern of the discipline. Significantly, ISD impacts on
the organisational and societal contexts through the use of the
artefacts constructed by the development. Today, that impact also
needs to be evaluated in terms of its effects on the environment.
Sustainable, or "green," IT is a catch-all term used to describe
the development, manufacture, management, use and disposal of ICT
in a way that minimizes damage to the environment. As a result, the
term has many different meanings, depending on the role assumed in
the life span of the ICT artefact. The theme of the proposed work
is to critically examine the whole range of issues around ISD from
the perspective of sustainability. Sustainable IT is an emerging
theme in academic research and industry practice in response to an
individual concern for the environment and the embryonic regulatory
environments being enacted globally to address the environmental
impact of ICT. In this work we intend to bring together in one
volume the diverse research around the development of sustainable
IS.
