Could Participation Support Sustainability in Requirements Engineering ?

چکیده
Many disciplines see a paradigm shift towards more participative processes. Requirements Engineering is a collaboratively creative process, so it entails stakeholder participation to a certain level. But how far should stakeholders be involved? Would more participation result in more sustainable systems? We draw on some studies from other disciplines to indicate that participation has indeed potential to support sustainability, if some obstacles can be handled appropriately.
