Innovations In Information Systems Modeling Methods And Best Practices

Covers central topics in information systems modeling and architectures. Includes the latest developments in information systems modeling, methods, and best practices.

Covers research in the area of systems analysis and design practices and methodologies.

Information modeling plays an important role in every level of the enterprise information system’s architecture. Modeling allows organizations to adapt and become more efficient, helping top managers and engineers outline tactics to reach strategic objectives, understand organizational needs, and design information systems that are aligned with business goals. New Perspectives on Information Systems Modeling and Design is an essential reference source that discusses organizational adaptation through the integration of new information technologies into existing processes and underlying supporting applications. Featuring research on topics such as application integration, change management, and mobile process activities, this book is ideally designed for managers, researchers, system developers, entrepreneurs, graduate-level students, business professionals, information system engineers, and academicians seeking coverage on emerging technological developments and practical solutions for system modeling and design.

"This book offers insight into emerging developments in information resources management and how these technologies are shaping the way the world does business, creates policies, and advances organizational practices"--Provided by publisher.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering, CAiSE 2012, held in Gdansk, Poland, in June 2012. The 42 revised full papers, 2 full-length invited papers and 4 short tutorial papers, were carefully reviewed and selected from 297 submissions. The contributions have been grouped into the following topical sections: business process model analysis; service and component composition; language and models; system variants and configuration; process mining; ontologies; requirements and goal models; compliance; monitoring and prediction; services; case studies; business process design; feature models and product lines; and human factors.

This volume constitutes the proceedings of the 5th IFIP WG 8.1 Working Conference on the Practice of Enterprise Modeling, held in Rostock, Germany, during November 7-8, 2012. The focus of the PoEM conference series is on improving the understanding of the practice of enterprise modeling by offering a forum for sharing experiences and knowledge between the academic community and practitioners from industry and the public sector. The 15 papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 45 submissions, and reflect different facets of enterprise modeling, including organizational and social issues as well as methodological and technical aspects. The papers are organized in five thematic sessions on enterprise modeling, business modeling, process modeling, enterprise architecture, and model-driven development.

The rapid development of new Information Infrastructure combined with the increased user needs in specific areas of Information Technology (mostly related to Web applications) has created the need for designing new modeling techniques more innovative and targeted on specific areas of Information Systems in order to successfully model the rapidly changed environment, along with the newly introduced concepts and user requirements. Therefore, this book aims to introduce readers to a number of innovative Information modeling techniques. It is titled "Innovative Information Systems Modelling Techniques" and includes 9 chapters. The focus is on the exploration and coverage of the innovations of recently presented modeling techniques and their applicability on the Information Systems' modeling.
