Nowadays practically every real system that reflects the objective reality, is of a sociotechnical nature. System is the result of collaboration of technical and social subsystems, as well as their symbiosis. The existence of a sociotechnical system is determined by the being of a digital society of technology and knowledge. Technology is one of the pillars of today's society, so it's important to predict which technologies will be accepted in society, which will be sustainable and in which of them it is worthwhile to invest. There are yet few validated methodologies that allow for predicting of the credible sustainability forecast of a new or existing technology. The article dealt with on system dynamics simulation based Integrated Acceptance and Sustainability Assessment Methodology (IASAM), which is one of the possible solutions that makes decision making easier for potential investors and policy planners.
