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.</span></i></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: normal; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium; "><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-bidi-font-family:
