In this article, the inter-relationship between information systems (IS), systems engineering (SE), and information system development (ISD) is discussed from past, present, and future perspectives. While SE is relatively a well-established discipline based upon an interdisciplinary approach to enable the realization of successful systems, ISD has evolved to a variant of SE applied mainly for t...

Market engineering is making markets work. Markets are information processing and information producing information systems which mediate allocation of resources within or between organizations. Setting up and operating a market in a way that it works effectively and efficiently is an art and a science. This paper outlines challenges in this interdisciplinary field of research and presents fram...

In scenario-based requirements engineering, system behaviours can be given by scenarios. First, we give a normal scenario of a system to be developed. Secondly, we can retrieve scenarios of similar behavior with the given scenario using differential information between the given scenario and a retrieved scenario. Thirdly, we retrieve alternative scenarios and exceptional scenarios of the retrie...
