Eco-ICT Lownum

https://eco-ict-2024.sciencesconf.org/

Lowtechisation is a method derived from value engineering and agile software development, focusing on socio-ecological issues (we address the specification step of engineering, before any realization). The purpose of lowtechisation is to write functional specifications and assess them with qualitative tools based on environnemental sustainability, social responsibility and technical conviviality. We will present the main concepts and steps of the method, quickly discover a few tools (user stories, self-assessment tools...) and review some existing student projects.
