Abstract

Circular Economy (CE) practices aim to achieve maximum utilization of resources, waste reduction, and product life cycle durability, and their application to software lifecycle management became increasingly necessary. The traditional software development has a linear approach, and that's leading to cyclic obsolescence, wasteful utilization of resources, and inefficiency. The paper introduces the application of CE to software lifecycle management for achieving maximum life span of software, modularity, and maintainability. Data were collected using expert questionnaires from general and expert networks, collecting responses on circular economy and bioeconomy principles. Data were preprocessed, and relevant features were extracted using Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) to enhance analytical accuracy. A bi-stacked Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network was then used to identify temporal trends in software releases, maintenance records, and usage patterns to offer predictive analysis for anticipatory resource optimization.
