This volume contains the papers presented at the Information Systems
Foundations Workshop, 27-28 September, 2006. The workshop was the fourth
in a series, begun in 1999 by Kit Dampney at Macquarie University and continued
biennially from 2002 at The Australian National University (ANU), focusing on
the theoretical foundations of the discipline of information systems. The
workshop immediately followed the annual Australian Council of Professors and
Heads of Information Systems (ACPHIS) workshop also held at the ANU.
The theme of the 2006 Workshop was ‘Theory, Representation and Reality’ and
it once again allowed researchers and practitioners in the field of information
systems to come together to discuss some of the fundamental issues relating to
our discipline.
Information systems is still a quite young field of study that, perhaps uniquely,
is a peculiar juxtaposition of the technological, in the form of computing and
communication technology artifacts, and the non-technological, in the form of
the humans and organisations that design, implement and use systems built with
that technology. This has and still does present a problem for information systems
theorists because typically theories in technologically oriented disciplines differ
significantly from the more human oriented disciplines in their view of the world
as well as how best to investigate it and intervene in it
