- ### [[Comments]]
|
||
- SUMMARY: The paper proposes a pluggable graphical interface model to enable end-users to customize web applications with the goal of reducing energy consumption and increasing sustainability awareness. A Figma prototype is evaluated through a technology acceptance study based on UTAUT2. The topic is relevant and the idea of involving users in sustainability-oriented customization is interesting, but the paper raises concerns regarding feasibility, generalizability, and the validity of the claimed benefits.
|
||
- COMMENTS: The paper is about a relevant and timely topic addressing sustainability and user awareness. The idea of involving end-users in sustainability decisions is interesting. The prototype is clearly articulated, and the authors acknowledge key challenges such as immature metrics and difficulties in mapping environmental indicators to real behavior. However, my main concerns are related to the following issues:
|
||
- The main issue of the paper is that it does not explain how user-driven configuration leads to measurable or validated reductions in energy consumption. The link between customization and actual savings remains speculative.
|
||
- The generality of the proposed model is unclear. It is doubtful that the approach can be safely applied to arbitrary web applications without breaking layouts, dependencies, or expected behaviours.
|
||
- The paper suffers from repetition, especially regarding the model’s universality and vision. Some claims of novelty are overstated.
|
||
- To summarize, the proposed idea is interesting enough to stimulate meaningful discussion, and the prototype and preliminary acceptance study provide a reasonable starting point for future work. I therefore recommend weak accept, mainly for the value of the topic and the potential to enrich the workshop discussion. |
