Using a variety of low-effort, high-payoff strategies on six major software projects, the authors demonstrate that, in some cases, effective user interface reengineering can be accomplished in a matter of weeks instead of the year or more traditionally required. ubstantial user interface research and design experience has given us a deeper understanding of design principles and methodologies. 1...

A major component of any business reengineering effort is the identification of business processes, and the development of software to support these processes. The development of the software is itself a process, commonly called the software process. One reason for reengineering a business is to decentralize its mode of operation, or to make a decentralized mode more effective. We contend that ...

Reengineering has become synonymous with major change in organizations. This paper develops theoretical underpinnings for the concept of Interorganizational Process Reengineering (IPR), the redesign of processes across organizational boundaries, encompassing the norms and values of more than one organization. This is done by examining existing reengineering, interorganizational, and general sys...

This paper discusses a plan that addresses how the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) may assist the Department of Defense (DoD) in reengineering its large software-intensive systems. This plan is based on a view of reengineering as an engineering problem to improve the cost-effective evolution of large software-intensive systems. This view of reengineering, which takes the whole software eng...

This paper presents a case study conducted in a semi-conductor manufacturing company concerning information systems planning in the context of reengineering business models for elogistics. A framework based on business process reengineering (BPR) is described. To enhance BPR efforts, the benchmarking technique is introduced as an analysis tool for redesigning business models. The framework emph...

CWI's research has a theme-oriented structure and is grouped into four clusters. Listed below are the names of the clusters and in parentheses their acronyms. 1. INTRODUCTION Software reengineering is concerned with changing and repairing existing software systems. Software reengi-neering is often language dependent and customer specific. For instance, Dutch banks have to standardize their bank...
