A System Development Life Cycle for Persuasive Design for Sustainability

Abstract

Abstract. The impact of a system development lifecycle (SDLC) often determines the success of a project from analysis to evolution. Although SDLC can be universally used design projects, a focused SDLC for a specific complex design issue could be valuable for understanding diverse user needs. The importance of sustainability elevation using a persuasive system is not new. Previous research presented frameworks and design principles for persuasive system design for sustainability, while an SDLC of sustainable system development also exists. However, at present no SDLC for persuasive design aiming for sustainability is evident, which was proposed in this paper. An existing sustainable SDLC established earlier by the authors was taken as the reference framework. A cognitive model with established persuasive design principles was then analyzed and mapped within the context of the reference framework to come up with the resulting life cycle. Finally, extensive discussions and future work possibilities were given.

A system analysis and design for mobile digital business traceability at a food manufacturing

“…In the third step, Mobile System Traceability will be evaluated by verifying and validating the system with a data sample from BPCS. The detailed work for this framework is divided into four stages: business process analysis, identification of mobile system components, a designing prototype of a mobile traceability system, and system verification and validation [7].…”

Insights from a dataset on behavioral intentions in learning information flow diagram capability for software design

“…Building an appropriate SDLC is difficult for a specific type of information system design since a system has involved and requires careful preparation and administration. To guarantee the standard and quality of an end design delivering a robust, effective, and efficient system, the system design could support and ensure that the software engineering design is accomplished [3] . Less-experienced software developers may find it challenging to comprehend the design and development of complex software.…”

Influencing Children: Limitations of the Computer-Human-Interactive Persuasive Systems in Developing Societies

“…While the elements of a human-computer persuasive interaction is locked within the sphere of a software, a website or an electronic/mobile device and are dependent, the entities in a product-user persuasive interaction system are independent entities intended to work together to achieve a particular persuasive goal. Different persuasive system development methodologies exist [13]. One of such methodologies had been earlier projected.…”

“…It is no longer unusual to use computers and other electronic devices in attempts to change human behaviours [11]. An example is Captology, which involves using computers as persuasive technologies [12,13]. This is the idea in which persuasive designs are rooted.…”
