Call For Minitrack Proposals Systems Analysis and Design – AMCIS 2014
in Savannah, GA

 We invite the submission of Systems Analysis and Design minitrack
proposals to the 20th Americas Conference on Information Systems
(AMCIS 2014), which will be held on August 7-10, 2014 Savannah,
Georgia.

TRACK: Systems Analysis and Design

Systems analysis is about analyzing business problems and
opportunities and identifying possible solutions, whereas systems
design is specifying how an identified solution can be implemented,
specifically as it involves information technology. The combined field
of Systems Analysis and Design deals with all issues related to the
development of systems and as such is of central importance to the
information systems discipline. The SIGSAND track provides a forum for
discussing research related to systems development methodologies and
the methods used and activities occurring throughout the systems
development life cycle. This includes requirements determination,
modeling techniques and languages, agile systems development
practices, empirical evaluation of analysis and design methods, user
involvement in systems development, open source development, design of
systems architecture, and other technical and organizational issues in
systems development.  Some of these topics include:

• Systems Analysis and Design: Methodologies and Processes
• Systems Analysis and Design: Modeling Methods, Techniques, and Languages
• Systems Analysis and Design: Requirements Elicitation, Modeling, and
Validation
•Analysis and Design for Service-Oriented Enterprises
•Contemporary Issues in Agile Development
•Strategic Software Management: Issues, Experiences, and Theory
•Technical and Managerial Issues in Open Source Development
•User Participation in Information Systems Development

Systems Analysis and Design Mini tracks/ suggested topics:

• Modeling methods
• Techniques and languages
• Agile systems development methods
• Analysis and design methodologies (including those in the context of
