[AISWorld] CFP Systems Analysis and Design Track AMCIS 2011

[Andrew Gemino]

The chairs of the Systems Analysis and Design Track invite you to submit research papers or panel proposals to one of our seven minitracks in AMCIS 2011 to be held August 4-7 in Detroit, Michigan.  More information about the conference, tracks and and minitracks can be found at:  http://amcis2011.aisnet.org

Track Description:

Systems analysis and design (SA&D) is of central importance to the information systems discipline. The SA&D track provides a forum for discussing research related to topics such as modeling methods, techniques and languages, agile systems development methods, business analysis and design methodologies including open/community source software and service-oriented computing), empirical evaluations of SA&D methods and techniques, and user participation in SA&D. Minitracks offered in the Systems Analysis and Design Track include:

·      	SA&D Methodologies and Processes

·      	SA&D Modeling Methods, Techniques, and Languages

·      	Analysis and Design for Service-Oriented Enterprises

·      	Contemporary Issues in Agile Development

·      	User Involvement in Systems Development and Improvement

·      	Business Process Management and Innovation

·      	Technical and Managerial Issues in Innovative Software Development

·       

A brief description of each track is provided below.

 

SA&D Methodologies and Processes

Chairs:                        Solomon Antony solomon.antony at murraystate.edu

                                    Akhilesh Bajaj akhilesh-bajaj at utulsa.edu

                                    Dinesh Batra Dinesh.Batra at business.fiu.edu

The scope of this mini-track ranges from the formative aspects of information systems development (e.g., systems planning and feasibility) to the “core” concepts in SA&D (e.g requirements determination, analysis, and design), finally to delivery of the information system product (e.g., system implementation). Also included are methodologies of work process analysis as well as distributed and global aspects of teamwork in the process of IS development. This mini-track is intended to bring together researchers studying technical, empirical, cognitive, pedagogical, theoretical, and applied aspects of IS Development methodologies and to highlight the continuing fundamental position of systems analysis and design in the IS discipline.

Systems Analysis and Design:  Modeling Methods, Techniques, and Languages

Chairs:                        John Erickson johnerickson at unomaha.edu

                                    Xin Tan xtan at fdu.edu

Keng Siau ksiau at unl.edu

This mini-track recognizes modeling methods and languages’ importance and continued relevance to the systems development process and highlights the ongoing growth and creativity in this field. Having been a successful AMCIS and SIGSAND component since 2003, the mini-track provides a forum for researchers, educators, and practitioners working in the areas of systems analysis and design, method engineering, and modeling language development, use, modification, and assessment. This mini-track also serves as an outlet for studies in theory development, design science, and behavioral science. An objective is to work toward a more standardized set of concepts which would in turn benefit researchers, educators, and practitioners in this field. In that light we welcome both technical and empirical pieces, and are open to all aspect of research methods (e.g., survey, experimentation, case studies, action research, etc.).

 

Analysis and Design for Service-Oriented Enterprises

Chairs:                        Padmal Vitharana padmal at syr.edu

                                    Kumar Bhaskaran bha at us.ibm.com

                                    Hemant Jain jain at uwm.edu

Enabled by the recent advances in web services, business process automation, and service-oriented architectures, organizations around the world have embarked on the development of the next-generation enterprise infrastructures, referred to by some as "Service-Oriented Enterprises". Essentially, service-oriented enterprises are organizations that take advantage of service-oriented computing to support agile enterprises. Currently, there are many open research issues on the analysis and design for the service-oriented enterprises that need attention from the MIS community. This minitrack provides a forum for researchers and practitioners who are interested in presenting their work in this area.

Contemporary Issues in Agile Development

Chairs:                        Nridhar Nerur snerur at uta.edu

                                    RadhaKanta Mahapatra mahapatra at uta.edu

                                    VenuGopal Balijepally vebalijepally at pvamu.edu 

Agile methodologies have gained increased acceptance among software developers and its acceptance brings to the fore a number of new research issues. These include adoption and post-adoption experiences with agile, agile project management, social aspects of agile development, distributed agile development, scalability of agile methodologies, and enterprise agility, to name but a few. The term “agility” has now assumed a broader meaning, extending its context and implications beyond software development to the overall organizational climate. The growing popularity of agile principles and practices affords IS scholars opportunities to study these and many more research issues. This mini-track will provide a forum for researchers to address fundamental issues in agile development and to explore contemporary issues raised by the widespread acceptance of agile methodologies.

User Involvement in Systems Development and Implementation

Chairs:                        Roland Weistroffer hrweistr at vcu.edu

                                    Angela Mattia amattia at ju.edu

User involvement in information systems (IS) development and implementation is generally considered essential for a successful development process and outcome. However, research on the impact of user participation or involvement on system success has been mixed. It has also been proposed that perhaps, rather than looking at user participation or involvement in development, it would be more useful to look at project collaboration in the improvement of technology reliant work systems. The objective of this mini-track is to provide a forum for scholars to re-examine the theoretical and practical issues related to user participation, stakeholder involvement, and project collaboration in systems development.

 

Business Process Management and Innovation

Chairs:                        Amit V. Deokar  amit.Deokar at dsu.edu

                                    Michael zur Muehlen Michael.zurMuehlen at stevens.edu

                                    Marta Indulska M.Indulska at business.uq.edu.au

Business Process Management (BPM) can be defined as methods and tools surrounding the definition, implementation, and improvement of lateral processes in organizations. As BPM continues to gain importance in today’s organization, an increasing number of studies detail efficiency, effectiveness and agility improvements resulting from process management initiatives This mini- track seeks contributions that discuss the management of business processes as well as technologies for process automation. We encourage submissions from both a managerial as well as a technical perspective.

 

Technical and Managerial Issues in Innovative Software Development

Chairs:                        Manlu Liu manluliu at saunders.rit.edu

                                    Daning Hu daninghu at cityu.edu.hk

                                    J. Leon Zhao jlzhao at cityu.edu.hk

Provides a forum for both technical and managerial issues in innovative models of software development. We welcome original research contributions on economical, empirical, practical, technical, and theoretical aspects of software development models and processes.
