[AISWorld] 2017 SIGSAND Symposium May 19-20 @ University of Cincinnati

[Samuel, Binny (samuelby)]

The Special Interest Group on Systems Analysis & Design (SIGSAND)
Symposium is hosted by the Operations, Business Analytics &
Information Systems department at the Lindner College of
Business at the University of Cincinnati.  We look forward to your
attendance and participation.  The symposium will take place
May 19-20, 2017.

Systems analysis involves examining business problems
(opportunities) and identifying possible solutions, whereas systems
design includes the identification, specification and implementation
of an information technology solution. 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 Symposium has the objective of
promoting and developing high quality research on all issues related
to systems analysis and design.

Faculty, graduate students, and independent scholars are invited to
submit completed research papers, research in progress papers, or
extended position statements in the area of Systems Analysis and
Design.  Given the developmental nature of the symposium, we
especially encourage research in progress. Submissions can address
issues in a range of topics such as 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. Given the broad range
of issues in this call, submissions can be anchored in a variety of
research methods, including formal analysis, systems development
(design science), experiments, case studies, and field studies.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

*         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
*         Impact of Systems Analysis and Design on IS use
          (e.g., adoption, information quality, etc.)
*         Ontological foundations of Systems Analysis and Design
*         Project Management Issues in Systems Analysis and Design
*         Security Issues in Systems Analysis and Design
*         Software Testing and Quality Control
*         Workflow Modeling
