Introducing Sentient Requirements for Information Systems and Digital Technologies

  • Conference paper
  • First Online:
Information Systems (EMCIS 2021)

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing ((LNBIP,volume 437))

Abstract

Traditionally requirements for Information Systems are considered as functional and non-functional. However, with current omnipresent Digital Technologies, we believe that new requirements dealing with individuals’ well-being are emerging. We call them sentient requirements using the term from the animal rights protection field. In this paper, we analyze the existing literature to understand better the deep nature of humans’ interactions with digital technologies and we introduce sentient requirements. It is based on a literature review including scientific and science-fiction literature. We apply these requirements to improve user experience in museums through a visiting game as a use case. Our proposal could be used by researchers and practitioners to enforce the design of Information Systems in various application fields to provide a better interaction between humans and digital technologies.
