Abstract

Achieving sustainability across a range of domains and applications is an increasing challenge for system designers. This is of particular significance when the impact of the way in which information is gathered and used on the way in which an individual functions within both the physical domain in which they live and work, and the information domain associated with the ways in which they use and react to information resources.
The paper sets out to examine the interaction between these two key domains, and how that interaction impacts upon the ways in which decisions are made. In doing so, it looks at the relationship between individuals as well as the deployment of sustainability concepts such as a circular economy, drawing upon examples such as the Internet of Things, vehicle systems, Smart Cities and Digital Twins to illustrate the interactions between domains.
