Objectif ASSIST is a study addressing a key issue in the contribution of IST to sustainability, that of the potential for the substitution of IST analogs for material consumption (virtualisation or immaterialisation). Most consumption is unrelated to basic needs but is to satisfy non-material needs. Consumption substitution by IST thus offers a powerful route to sustainability. However, design of substitution techniques necessitates both a good knowledge of the reasons for consumption and -inter alia- of the sensory and ontological aspects of IST. ASSIST's objective is to contribute to IST by surveying existing multi-and cross-disciplinary work in the area, making recommendations for future work and proposing new parameters for product and service design.The work includes:Firstly, a state-of-art survey by expert interviews and by targeted questionnaire including a multi-disciplinary workshop to identify the extent and progress of related work.Secondly, reasoned analysis and classification of the state-of-art including mapping across the needs and satisfiers issues underlying consumption against the IST e-work and e-business issues that may have the potential for consumption substitution. This task will also include a multi-disciplinary workshop reviewing potentials for new RDT actions and relevance for product and service design.Finally, the outcomes will be presented at a Conference making concrete recommendations for the definition of future RTD actions in promoting sustainability.
