Information Systems
- Share to:
Internet computing is changing the nature and scope of information systems (IS). Most IS methods and techniques were invented before the advent of the Internet. What will the world of information systems practice be like in the age of the Internet? What methods and techniques will be relevant? We review the world of information systems in terms of processes and products, qualities, social structures, and the role of automation. Given the rapid adoption of Internet thinking not only among technical professionals, but in the public consciousness, we outline the prospects and challenges for information systems in the emerging landscape. In particular, we highlight the need for richer modelling abstractions to support the diversity of services and modes of operation in the new age of world-wide open network information systems.
