It Takes a Socio-Technical Ecosystem
نویسندگان
چکیده
There are both technical and social issues regarding the design of sustainable scientific software. Scientists want continuously evolving systems that capture the most recent knowledge while developers and architects want sufficiently stable requirements to ensure correctness and efficiency. A sociotechnical ecosystem provides the environment in which these issues can be traded off.

We contend that the sharing of lessons between these areas of study must attend particularly to the common governance challenges that confront both approaches. Here, we focus on critical experience arising from reactions to a transition management ...

Ecosystembased adaptation to climate change is the type of adaptation that aims to combine these outcomes and is particularly relevant to developing nations that safeguard most of the planetary biodiversity a...
متن کاملFunctional Decomposition of a Socio-Technical System: What is Missing?
The paper discusses the needs of new expressive means for modeling a socio-technical system as consisting of functional components that are connected to each-other through the output-input relationships. The discussion is based on an example of depicting so-called feedback connections between the functional components of a system. The need to introduce a feedback connection arises when two conn...
