Deployment and customization of the software in different information systems of separate organizations challenge large requirement conformity, project and specification management, design and architecture complexity, code integration, compatibility and interoperability issues, frequently causing the need of reengineering through the entire all the system development lifecycle. The paper propos...

–A significant collection of software assets are used in all high-tech organizations and software business. Today, the major concern is with the maintenance and reuse of software which can be further invested in such a manner that its value may increase with passage of time but not like accountability whose value diminishes with the time. It has been an issue of forceful debate and keen interes...

Despite differences between public and private sectors, business process reengineering (BPR) principles have been widely used in reengineering government processes. This has led to a growing body of literature on government process reengineering (GPR). This chapter presents synthesis and analysis of the literature on government process reengineering from 1997 to 2009. It reviews normative studi...

In this survey we look at two classes of reengineering, of software systems and of organizations. The latter is known as business reengineering. The purpose of reengineering is to improve the structure of a software system or organization by use of an engineering approach. Part of the survey is therefore a listing of engineering principles. An important principle is that there be well planned p...

In the last years, the requirements of the end-users are notably evolved. A good software must not have only a good functionality cover but it also must have good usability features. From this point of view, the most recent design methodologies focus on the interaction between the end-user and its user experience; in this way, the design focus there is not on the data element (represented as ob...

Several authors and researchers have questioned the effectiveness of business process reengineering (BPR) as a holistic organizational approach especially after the demise of giant organizations all over the world. However, at a time of economic turbulence and uncertainty, BPR becomes instrumental in helping organizations reengineer existing processes and optimize them to better stay competitiv...

This paper proposes a global and complete decision support tool able to help decision makers in the reengineering of a surgical suite. Under increasing economic pressure and subject to rapid evolutions of technology and surgical protocols, hospitals have to consider radical organisational changes to ensure continuous efficiency. Recent findings in enterprise modelling highlight the importance o...
