Objeto de conferencia 19 th IFIP World Computer Congress - WCC 2006 Companies are more than ever participating in so-called value networks while being confronted with an increasing need for collaboration with their business partners. In order to better perform in such value networks information systems supporting not only the intra- but also the inter-enterprise business processes are necessary in order to enable and ease collaboration between business partners. Therefore, they need to be interoperable. As the basis for building these information systems the concepts of enterprise ontology and business components are very promising. The notion of enterprise ontology, as presented in this paper, is a powerful revelation of the essence of an enterprise or an enterprise network. Reusable and self-contained business components with well-defined interaction points facilitate the accessing and execution of coherent packages of business functionality. The identification of business components, however, is still a crucial factor. The reported research seeks to improve the identification of business components based on the ontological model of an enterprise, satisfying well-defined quality criteria The past and the future of information systems: 1976-2006 and beyond

Objeto de conferencia 19 th IFIP World Computer Congress - WCC 2006 This paper presents semiotic engineering – a semiotic theory of HCI. The theory has the advantage to integrate back end and front end design and development perspectives into a single metacommunication process that affects the user’s experience and, ultimately, the success of any system. By means of illustrative examples, we show the kinds of effects that can be achieved with the theory, and discuss why a semiotic perspective is relevant for the future of information systems The past and the future of information systems: 1976-2006 and beyond

Objeto de conferencia 19 th IFIP World Computer Congress - WCC 2006 This paper describes the concept of the self- and metarepresentation capabilities of the organization, a constituent of what we call the organizational mind. Our claim is that these capabilities are responsible for the emergence of a collective self that is of central importance in the formation of the organizational identity. These capabilities are relevant to the information systems field, as Information Technology applications play a central role in the support of those representational capabilities. The paper presents a summary of a theoretical perspective that supports a research project aimed at developing a framework to guide managers diagnosing identity dysfunctions resulting from impaired representational capabilities of the organization.

Objeto de conferencia 19 th IFIP World Computer Congress - WCC 2006 Workflow Management Systems depend on a Workflow Enactment Service having several interfaces to establish communication with external applications, manage persistent information and exchange it with similarly capable systems. The study of business processes has shown multiple workflow patterns that have been modelled and implemented in several engines. The Workflow Management Council has combined commercial and academic efforts towards a standard structure for engines and information exchange regarding workflow processes. LUPA is aWorkflow Engine designed around theWorkflow Management Council Reference Model that implements basic workflow patterns with a graphical syntax, establishing their semantics on Interpreted Petri Nets with extensions. It provides a new Cancellation workflow pattern, that has also been used to provide an Iteration pattern with guaranteed termination.

Objeto de conferencia 19 th IFIP World Computer Congress - WCC 2006 The realization of Semantic Web vision is based on the creation and use of semantic web content which needs software tools both for semantic web developers and end users. Over the past few years, semantic web software tools like ontology editors and triple storage systems have emerged and are growing in maturity with time. While working on a large triple dataset during the course of a research aiming at a life-long “semantic” repository of personal information, besides other semantic web tools, we used several RDF browsing and visualization tools for analyzing our data. This analysis included ensuring the correctness of the data, conformance of instance data to the ontology, finding patterns and trails in the data, cross-checking and evaluating inferred data, etc. We found that many of the features needed by a metadata creator and analyst are missing from these tools. This paper presents an investigation of the tools that are used for browsing and visualizing RDF datasets. It first identifies the browsing and visualization features required by a semantic web developer and a metadata creator and analyst and then based on those features evaluates the most common RDF browsing and visualization tools available till date. We conclude this paper with recommendations for requirements to be fulfilled for future semantic web browsing and visualization The past and the future of information systems: 1976-2006 and beyond

Objeto de conferencia 19 th IFIP World Computer Congress - WCC 2006 This paper develops the argument that information systems have not only existed for the last 50 years (as most accounts of ICT argue) or since the 1700 century (as some more accurate readings would propose), but they are indeed as old as mankind. It provides a historical account of how information and communication systems have greatly interacted with some major transformations in human society, in addition to demonstrating the implications of the most recent changes in the last 10 years with the Internet. It builds on literature which distinguishes 3 major phases in the history of mankind and provides accounts of the role of information and communication systems in each of these phases. The main argument is that the “domestication of information systems” is better understood when previous regime transformations and their dynamics are taken into account and investigated. Implications of these developments in relation to innovation and learning are provided. The past and the future of information systems: 1976-2006 and beyond

Objeto de conferencia 19 th IFIP World Computer Congress - WCC 2006 As many authors have stated, the importance of organizational learning is fundamental in order to gain competitive advantage and survive in a turbulent environment. Many learning models have been studied in recent years. They have been used to analyze practices or aspects of learning in many industries. This paper aims to develop a particular framework in order to understand the determinants for organizational learning, depending on the firm’s general approach towards information and knowledge management. The theoretical framework is derived from Blackler and McDonald’s study, which focused on organizational learning approaches, and from Duncan and Weiss’s work, which studied attitudes towards knowledge management. This is applied to a particular context characterized by a high level of bureaucracy: the Italian banking industry. In particular, the study is conducted on a sample of 54 banks. The empirical analysis is carried out through questionnaires and interviews. Data is analyzed using statistical analysis. Results are shown and empirical implications are discussed, also in order to explain the reasons for the current situation. The past and the future of information systems: 1976-2006 and beyond

Objeto de conferencia 19 th IFIP World Computer Congress - WCC 2006 The IFIP TC 8 WG 8.6 focuses on the transfer and diffusion of information technology. Since the working group was established in 1993 there have been a number of events where members of the group have produced contributions analyzing transfer and diffusion of IT in different settings and from different perspectives. In this paper we report the result of an analysis of the theoretical perspectives the contributors have applied in the studies. Our analysis suggests that even though there is an even distribution of factor and process oriented studies reported in proceedings the theoretical denominator for the long standing members of WG 8.6 is the process oriented approach to the study of transfer and diffusion of IT.

Objeto de conferencia 19 th IFIP World Computer Congress - WCC 2006 The information systems we see around us today are at first sight very different from those that were developed 30 years ago. On the other hand, it seems that we are still struggling with many of the same problems, such as late projects and unfilled customer demands. In this article we present selected data from survey investigations performed by us in 1993, 1998, and 2003 among Norwegian organisations on how they conduct information systems development and maintenance. The investigations looks on many of the same areas as earlier investigations e.g. by Lientz and Swanson in the late 1970’, thus we are able to report on some tendencies of the development in the last 30 years. A major finding is that even if we witness large changes in the implementation technology and methods used, a number of aspects such as overall percentage of time used for maintaining and evolving systems in production compared to time used for development is remarkably stable. The same can be said about the rate of replacement, around 50% of ‘new’ systems to be developed are replacement systems. On the other hand, since we have more complex infrastructures supporting the information systems, more and more of the resources are used for other tasks such as operations and usersupport. Less and less time is available for providing new information systems support in organisation The past and the future of information systems: 1976-2006 and beyond

Objeto de conferencia 19 th IFIP World Computer Congress - WCC 2006 The software industry in India that mostly exports information technology (IT) services has emerged in the last decade as an important constituent of the world software industry. The industry is organized into MNC networks, whose structural, relational, and territorial dimensions has been investigated. The quasi-disintegration and internationalization of MNC production activities, the commodification of services, the availability of highly skilled low cost personnel, and Indian IT services firms link with MNCs have aided in the emergence of IT services industry in India. The research elucidates that MNCs are key drivers in this complex and interdependent network that involve important Indian firms. This is the first study to investigate the Indian IT services industry in the context of global software production network. The past and the future of information systems: 1976-2006 and beyond

Nevertheless most CIOs wouldn’t even consider this option for their enterprise information technology needs. We found that the three main concerns about FOSS have to do with legal issues, costs and support. We propose an initial framework to look at FOSS in a balanced, unbiased and systematic manner that can be used for evaluation of specific scenarios from very small companies to large ones.

Objeto de conferencia 19 th IFIP World Computer Congress - WCC 2006 This paper contributes to the discipline of Information Systems (IS) by illustrating the continuing evolution of IS applications to a single, core business function. Historical developments in IS and the major global treasury activity, foreign exchange trading, have been examined to establish the context. Findings from a seven year research project into the impact of ICT on financial services and the development of a next generation agentbased treasury management system prototype have been applied. Possible future developments in IS applications are explored in terms of the capabilities of emerging technologies to address current treasury challenges. The implications for practitioners in an increasingly complex, global market are discussed and sustainable research issues, particularly for IS research, identified.

Objeto de conferencia 19 th IFIP World Computer Congress - WCC 2006 Business Process Reengineering (BPR) came up as a key concept in the 1990s, with a high impact on management and transactions of private companies. However, it has not been so well accepted in public administration. Nowadays, many projects for changes in government are related to electronic government. According to this, this article discusses the role of BPR in this context, its contribution to this kind of initiative, and if it is a required element to go forward. Also, the difficulties in carrying out the BPR in the particular case of e-government are analyzed, taking into account the characteristics of this kind of project, the stages that are generally involved and the environment in which it is performed. Finally, a basic structure for the development of egovernment is provided, specifying the insertion of BPR for reaching a more efficient, effective and foreseeable management of new projects.

Objeto de conferencia 19 th IFIP World Computer Congress - WCC 2006 The design of the organization of information services in large public organizations must be improved to give a better answer on the changing political, administrative and social demands being made on large public bodies. At the moment it is not clear how the organization of the information services should function in this respect. Up until now the organization of the organization of the information services is part of the operations organization. The distance to the strategic function in a public organization is therefore large. To make better use of IT it is necessary to bridge these gap. In the last year investigation is done if and how these gap can be bridged and a first new design was made. The past and the future of information systems: 1976-2006 and beyond

Objeto de conferencia 19 th IFIP World Computer Congress - WCC 2006 Information systems have been rapidly evolving from monolithic/ transactional to network/service based systems. The issue of data quality is becoming increasingly important, since information in new information systems is ubiquitous, diverse, uncontrolled. In the paper we examine data quality from the point of view of dimensions and methodologies proposed for data quality measurement and improvement. Dimensions and methodologies are examined in their relationship with the different types of data, from structured to unstructured, the evolution of information systems, and the diverse application areas.

In the paper we examine data quality from the point of view of dimensions and methodologies proposed for data quality measurement and improvement. Dimensions and methodologies are examined in their relationship with the different types of data, from structured to unstructured, the evolution of information systems, and the diverse application areas.

Objeto de conferencia 19 th IFIP World Computer Congress - WCC 2006 Stakeholders identification is a critical task for successful software projects. In general, there are no methodologies that allow performing it in a systematic way. Besides, several facts must be analyzed when the project is carried out in a context formed by multiple organizations. The complexity of these environments makes the task extremely hard. To face these difficulties, stakeholders are defined and analyzed taking into account the characteristics of the interorganizational dimension. Also a methodology is proposed for carrying out their identification that allows systematically specifying all people, groups and organizations whose interests and needs are affected by the information system in all the involved dimensions. The past and the future of information systems: 1976-2006 and beyond

Objeto de conferencia 19 th IFIP World Computer Congress - WCC 2006 For the past 30 years and more, Information Systems Development (ISD) has been at the heart of the study and practice of Information Systems (IS). This paper examines the history of ISD methodologies and looks at some of the trends and issues concerning ISD, and shows how these have been reflected in methodologies and how organizations use (or do not use) them. Discussion of the present state of the field is followed by a discussion of possible future directions. The past and the future of information systems: 1976-2006 and beyond
