Trends in Information Systems

In the ten years of its existence the TC 8 group has made major contributions in the field of Information Systems. The basic assumption has always been that effective information systems require solid (or scientific) technical foundations, on the one hand, and extensive regard for organizational and human aspects, on the other. One consideration in particular, which emerges from this collection of papers, is that of information'' - in the sense of how organized (and informal) data streams support and influence people in their work. Also, the problem of making information shareable'' is tackled, since each TC 8 working group must interface the technical, scientific, organizational, practical and - above all - human aspects of information systems.

Advancing Research in Information and Communication Technology

For 60 years the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) has been advancing research in Information and Communication Technology (ICT). This book looks into both past experiences and future perspectives using the core of IFIP's competence, its Technical Committees (TCs) and Working Groups (WGs). Soon after IFIP was founded, it established TCs and related WGs to foster the exchange and development of the scientific and technical aspects of information processing. IFIP TCs are as diverse as the different aspects of information processing, but they share the following aims: To establish and maintain liaison with national and international organizations with allied interests a...

In this particular meeting the committee members intensively discussed the innovative and unique characteristics of Enterprise Information Systems as scientific sub-discipline. Hence, in this meeting it was decided by the TC8 members that the IFIP TC8 First International Conference on Research and Practical Issues of Enterpri...
