Abstract

The elaboration and introduction of a new technology is a complex and expensive task, therefore it is necessary to assess the set of factors influencing the future of technology. The most important parameters of assessment are technology acceptance and sustainability. Different models exist, but most of them are static and do not offer possibilities for interactive and real time assessment and do not allow forecasting technology sustainability. The framework of FP7-ICT-2009-5 CHOREOS project No. 257178 elaborates a new two-step methodology, Integrated Acceptance and Sustainability Assessment Model (IASAM), for socio-technical assessment. This article describes the underlying model methodology and its validation process.
