Eliciting information requirements from users is critical to timely and successful development of information systems. Despite its importance, however, users may not always be willing to cooperate during the requirements gathering process because ...

To increase situational awareness, major cybersecurity platforms offer Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) about emerging cyber threats, key threat actors, and their modus operandi. However, this intelligence is often reactive, as it analyzes event log files ...

The majority of flaws found in software originates in the system requirements specification stage. The use of domain‐specific languages has shown to be a valuable resource in this part of the process, since they help to establish communication standards, ...

In this paper, we present our plan to integrate requirements elicitation concepts and learning assessments into an Information System curriculum. Both contemporary research and practitioners have noted deficiencies in the abilities of entry-level IT ...

Controls are widely regarded as a key factor in driving high performing organisational processes. However, because of ongoing changes within information systems IS processes, control modifications are commonly required in order to maintain performance ...

High safety and performance requirements drive the mission criticality of space exploration systems. There is often only one chance for mission success, and failure can be fatal. Although proximate causes of failure are often technical, root causes are ...

Emerging technologies provide new opportunities to humanitarian organizations for enhancing their response to crisis situations. Since the 2010 Haiti Earthquake, online volunteer communities have been activated to gather data and generate information ...

Some organizations fail to involve users in systems development due to a widespread organization, high workload or secrecy issues. A remedy against this situation could be the persona method in which users and main stakeholders as represented as ...

Trust remains a challenge in globally distributed development teams. In order to investigate how trust plays out in this context, we conducted a qualitative study of 5 multi-national IT organizations. We interviewed 58 individuals across 10 countries and ...

A Software Engineering project depends significantly on team performance, as does any activity that involves human interaction. In the last years, the traditional perspective on software development is changing and Agile methods have received ...

Information requirements determination (IRD) is concerned with developing accurate requirements for a proposed system, primarily by eliciting information from users and other organizational stakeholders. In this paper we build and test theory concerning ...

Macrocognitive work systems are complex adaptive systems designed to support near-continuous interdependencies among humans and intelligent machines to carry out joint cognitive work that includes functions such as sensemaking, replanning, mental ...

This paper raises awareness of industry's move to blend ITSM lifecycle concepts with the systems development lifecycle to foster collaboration between the silos of systems development and IT operations. Academia has an important role in integrating ITSM ...

This paper presents a model upper-division capstone computer science course that teaches the fundamentals and develops skills for enterprise software development. The course assumes strong fundamentals in computer science and experience in systems-...

Awareness and use of agile methods has grown rapidly among the information systems development (ISD) community in recent years. Like most previous methods, the development and promotion of these methods have been almost entirely driven by practitioners ...

Despite significant research progress on the problem of managing systems development risk, we are yet to see this problem addressed from an economic optimization perspective. Doing so entails answering the question: What mitigations should be planned ...

This study addresses the theoretically underexplored question of how fit between project governance configurations, and the knowledge of specialized information technology (IT) and client departments, influences information systems development (ISD) ...

Information systems development projects are a significant expenditure of time, effort and money for many enterprises. Historically it has been estimated that 50-80% of projects fail to achieve their objectives for a variety of reasons. Researchers have ...

Systems development projects are complex collaborative efforts in which actors create and share knowledge across organisational boundaries and over time. We know, however, little about how knowledge is created and shared in systems development projects ...

Information Systems Development is a process that needs not only technical capabilities but management capabilities as well. Managing successfully the development process creates a number of qualitative and quantitative benefits to all being involved (...
