Abstract
Gaining knowledge about the sustainable context is fundamental for the success of a product development, as a lack of knowledge limits the possibilities of innovation. The contextual boundaries of a system often do not adequately describe the influence on sustainability, so that product developers are unaware of problem shifts within and between the areas of impact on sustainability. For reasons of complexity, a therefore needed holistic captured system context is insufficiently taken into account in existing approaches. Within the scope of this article, a framework for Sustainable Context Engineering is developed, that provides a formalization of a holistic sustainable system context for the analysis and synthesis of relations in product development. Furthermore, a requirements methodology based on SPES 2020 is proposed, which supports the decomposition of requirements by model-based templates via a subtractive structure. This promotes communication and situational awareness among developers in order to influence the sustainability goals in the early phase of the product development process. Further research will be made in order to implement the approach in a model-based manner and to define a finite number of measurement parameters based on interdisciplinary sustainability models.
