More About This Textbook
Overview
- Reflections on and criticism of conceptual frameworks (such as FRISCO);
- Fundamental and generic information system concepts;
- Novel information system design approaches;
- Approaches to integrate and synthesise information system design methods.
The three workshops addressed the following themes:- The conceptual foundations of information systems;
- Innovation and standardisation in the information system field;
- How do our concepts shape our practice, and vice versa?
ISCO4 was held in the Lorentz Center of Leiden University, The Netherlands, in September 1999, and was sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP). Its proceedings are of prime interest to all those working in information systems, especially researchers, lecturers, and students, but also practitioners, such as tool and method developers.Product Details
