This book is the first volume of a running series under the title Inter- tional Handbooks on Information Systems. The series is edited by Peter Bernus, Jacek Blazewicz, Günter Schmidt and Mike Shaw. One objective is to give state of the art surveys on selected topics of information systems theory and applications. To this end, a distinguished international group of academics and practitioners are invited to provide a reference source not only for problem solvers in business, industry, and government but also for professional researchers and graduate students. It seemed appropriate to start the series with a volume covering some basic aspects about information systems. The focus of the first volume is therefore architectures. It was decided to have a balanced number of c- tributions from academia and practitioners. The structure of the material follows a differentiation betweeen modelling languages, tools and meth- ologies. These are collected into separate parts, allowing the reader of the handbook a better comparison of the contributions. Information systems are a major component of the entire enterprise and the reader will notice that many contributions could just as easily have been included in another volume of the series which is on enterprise in- gration. Conversely, some traditionally information systems topics, as - ganisational analysis and strategic change management methods, will be treated in more depth in the Handbook on Enterprise Integration. The two volumes will complement each other.
Offers a comprehensive overview of architectures, languages, methods, and techniques for constructing information systems Approaches from computer science, information systems, business administration Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
This new edition of an established handbook offers a comprehensive overview of architectures, languages, methods, and techniques for modeling and analyzing information systems in organizations. More than 30 contributions by authoritative figures in this area provide a completely revised reference source for problem-solvers, including new papers on XML and UML. The authors survey numerous approaches from computer science, information systems, and business administration, among others. The first volume of the International Handbook on Information Systems.
