| Summary: | Global awareness of sustainability issues lead to researchers and organizations concentrate on applying green computing as solution to achieve sustainability. However, various previous studies mainly focus on hardware solution rather than software. Hence, there is lacking of model in discussing green software development (GSD). This paper suggests that knowledge about activities, practices and policies of GSD should be gathered from numerous IT experts, researchers and practitioners and stores the collected knowledge in one system. Hence, techniques of knowledge management (KM) is applying and emphasizing on capturing knowledge of GSD and share the knowledge among all IT practitioners, who are programmers, system analysts, software engineers, software maintenance workers and network administrators. Therefore, with the help of KM, the green knowledge can transform into actionable knowledge, which able to apply in developing software, and finally produce greener software product. Most importantly, Power consumption and carbon footprint can be minimized throughout GSD life cycle. In the end, goal of sustaining future generation can be achieved because the future generation able to have their needs met. In this paper, a GSD model will be proposed for enabling KM in facilitating the ultimate goal of sustainability to be achieved. |
