Method engineering in information systems analysis and design: a balanced scorecard approach for method improvement

Business Value of Information Systems Interoperability ? A Balanced Scorecard Approach

It is widely believed that the establishment of interoperability of firm’s IS with the ones of other cooperating firms (e.g. customers, suppliers, business partners) can generate significant business value. However, this has been only to a very limited extent empirically investigated. This paper contributes to filling this research gap by presenting an empirical study of the effect of IS intero...

Communication Analysis: A Requirements Engineering Method for Information Systems

Developing Information Systems (ISs) is a hard task for which Requirements Engineering (RE) offers a good starting point. ISs can be viewed as a support for organisational communication. Therefore, we argue in favour of communication-oriented RE methods. This paper presents Communication Analysis, a method for IS development and computerisation. The focus is put on requirements modelling techni...

Application of triangulation approach in requirements engineering process: A study in analysis and design of the pediatrics epilepsy information system

Introduction: Requirements Engineering process is a crucial phase in software development. In order to achieve a successful design of health information systems (HISs), applying the best methodologies is essential. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to design pediatrics Epilepsy Information System (EPIS) as well as the use of triangulation approach in elicitation and validation of epil...

Evolutionary Method Engineering: Towards a Method for the Analysis and Conception of Management Information Systems

The aim of management information systems is to satisfy the information need managers have to successfully accomplish their tasks. The quality of management decisions is highly dependent on the information they are based on. A structured conception of these systems is a crucial task that has to precede their implementation and monitoring. Several conceptual modeling methods (CMM) for business i...
