Abstract
Everyone acknowledges the importance of responsible computing, but practical advice is hard to come by. Important Internet applications are ways to accomplish business processes. We investigate how they can be geared to support responsibility as illustrated via sustainability. Sustainability is not only urgent and essential but also challenging due to engagement with human and societal concerns, diverse success criteria, and extended temporal and spatial scopes. This article introduces a new framework for developing responsible Internet applications that synthesizes the perspectives of the theory of change, participatory system mapping, and computational sociotechnical systems.
期刊介绍:
This magazine provides a journal-quality evaluation and review of Internet-based computer applications and enabling technologies. It also provides a source of information as well as a forum for both users and developers. The focus of the magazine is on Internet services using WWW, agents, and similar technologies. This does not include traditional software concerns such as object-oriented or structured programming, or Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) or Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) standards. The magazine may, however, treat the intersection of these software technologies with the Web or agents. For instance, the linking of ORBs and Web servers or the conversion of KQML messages to object requests are relevant technologies for this magazine. An article strictly about CORBA would not be. This magazine is not focused on intelligent systems. Techniques for encoding knowledge or breakthroughs in neural net technologies are outside its scope, as would be an article on the efficacy of a particular expert system. Internet Computing focuses on technologies and applications that allow practitioners to leverage off services to be found on the Internet.
