Abstract

The Esprit Project 5374 QLIS (Quality of Life in the Information Society) aims to develop a Software Scenario Support Tool (3ST) for the assessment and forecasting of the implications of IT applications for Quality of Life. In order to reach this goal, a consortium of partners with complementary knowledge was set up comprising sociologists with knowledge about quality of life issues; computer scientists who model their knowledge and build systems based on it; and industrial partners who supply case studies to assess the models and the 3ST. In this paper we discuss the sociologists' approach in assessing quality of Life in the Work Environment, and we present the prototype system which aims to reproduce this behaviour, with illustrations taken from a real situation in one of our industrial organizations.
