Influence of Environmental Protection Requirements on Object-Oriented Software Design

The questions of environmental impact that company produce take important place nowadays. The ISO 14064-1 [1] standard specifies principles and requirements for monitor and control the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and removals. These requirements can be met by optimizing companies business processes (production, logistic, etc.) and by decreasing the power consumption of the companies’ equipments. As side effect of these changes, the total costs of companies can be decreased as well. Companies’ data centres and servers consume more than half of total spent electricity power. These servers are mostly used by companies’ software systems. Hence, if the software systems require less calculation time, less space, there will be no requirements to keep the big energy consuming servers, and the most of tasks can go in cloud as well. Hence, the environmental protection requirements should be considered in developing software systems for companies. In this paper, we aim to give some literature review and propose the research on the topic.
