Systems Analysis and Design: Techniques Methodologies Approaches and Architecture

<p>For the last two decades, IS researchers have conducted empirical studies leading to better understanding of the impact of Systems Analysis and Design methods in business, managerial, and cultural contexts. SA & D research has established a balanced focus not only on technical issues, but also on organizational and social issues in the information society.This volume presents the very latest, state-of-the-art research by well-known figures in the field. The chapters are grouped into three categories: techniques, methodologies, and approaches.</p> 1: The State of Systems Analysis and Design Research; I: Techniques for Systems Engineering and Requirements Elicitation; 2: Flow-Service-Quality (FSQ) Systems Engineering; 3: Requirements Elicitation Techniques as Communication Channels; II: Methodology Foundation and Evolution of Systems Analysis and Design; 4: Iteration in Systems Analysis and Design; 5: A Framework for Identifying the Drivers of Information Systems Development Method Emergence; 6: Transition to Agile Software Development in a Large-Scale Project; III: Agent-Oriented Systems Analysis and Design Methodologies; 7: Agent-Oriented Information Systems Analysis and Design; 8: Agent-Oriented Methods and Method Engineering; IV: New Approaches and Architectures for Information Systems Development; 9: Application of the Fact-Based Approach to Domain Modeling of Object-Oriented Information Systems; 10: Systematic Derivation and Evaluation of Domain-Specific and Implementation-Independent Software Architectures; 11: OO-Method
