Information Systems and Technology Education: From the University to the Workplace
"This book presents a multifaceted, global view of the human dynamics of education, supply, demand, and career development in the information systems and technology industry. It provides a tool to meet the challenges of providing improved education and employing an optimal supply of information systems and technology graduates in the decades to come"--Provided by publisher.
Information Systems Development
Information Systems Development: Reflections, Challenges and New Directions, is the collected proceedings of the 20th International Conference on Information Systems Development held in Edinburgh, Scotland, August 24 - 26, 2011. It follows in the tradition of previous conferences in the series in exploring the connections between industry, research and education. These proceedings represent ongoing reflections within the academic community on established information systems topics and emerging concepts, approaches and ideas. It is hoped that the papers herein contribute towards disseminating research and improving practice
Foundations of Health Information Engineering and Systems
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the Third International Symposium on Foundations of Health Information Engineering and Systems, FHIES 2013, held in Macau, China, in August 2013. The 19 revised full papers presented together with 1 invited talk in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 22 submissions. The papers are organized in following subjects: panel position statements, pathways, generation and certification, interoperability, patient safety, device safety, formal methods and HIV/AIDS and privacy.
Software Process Improvement
This book constitutes the refereed proceeding of the 12th European Software Process Improvement Conference, EuroSPI 2005, held in Budapest, Hungary in November 2005. The 18 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 40 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on agile methods and software issues, spi studies, improvement methods, quality and knowledge management, as well as engineering and development.
Methodologies for Developing and Managing Emerging Technology Based Information Systems
This volume contains the proceedings of the 6th International Conference of the BCS Specialist Group on Information Systems Methodologies. The conference brought together papers on methodology issues related to the development and management of emerging technology based information systems. As usual there was a good range of papers addressing the 'soft' and 'hard' aspects of IS development and management. Methodologies for Developing and Managing Emerging Technology-based Information Systems will be of interest to practitioners who are engaged in systems development and modifying or aligning existing methodologies to practice.
At the Crossroads of Music and Social Justice
Music is powerful and transformational, but can it spur actual social change? A strong collection of essays, At the Crossroads of Music and Social Justice studies the meaning of music within a community to investigate the intersections of sound and race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, and differing abilities. Ethnographic work from a range of theoretical frameworks uncovers and analyzes the successes and limitations of music's efficacies in resolving conflicts, easing tensions, reconciling groups, promoting unity, and healing communities. This volume is rooted in the Crossroads Section for Difference and Representation of the Society for Ethnomusicology, whose mandate is to address issues of diversity, difference, and underrepresentation in the society and its members' professional spheres. Activist scholars who contribute to this volume illuminate possible pathways and directions to support musical diversity and representation. At the Crossroads of Music and Social Justice is an excellent resource for readers interested in real-world examples of how folklore, ethnomusicology, and activism can, together, create a more just and inclusive world.
New Studies in Global IT and Business Services Outsourcing
This book contains 11 carefully revised and selected papers from the 5th Workshop on Global Sourcing, held in Courchevel, France, March 14-17, 2011. They have been gleaned from a vast empirical base brought together by leading researchers in information systems, strategic management, and operations. This volume is intended for use by students, academics, and practitioners interested in the outsourcing and offshoring of information technology and business processes. It offers a review of the key topics in outsourcing and offshoring, populated with practical frameworks that serve as a tool kit for students and managers. The topics discussed combine theoretical and practical insights, and they are extensively illustrated by case studies from client and vendor organizations. Last but not least, the book examines current and future trends in outsourcing and offshoring, paying particular attention to how innovation can be realized in global or outsourced software development environments.
Software Quality - ECSQ 2002
Software professionals and companies live in a new world today. Increasingly complex systems need to be built faster and cheaper. While many of the est- lished approaches in software quality are still valid, the software quality c- munity is going through a paradigm shift that requires a re-assessment of our current method and tool portfolio, as well as creating new and more e?ective solutions. We have selected two themes for this conference to highlight this paradigm shift. Our ?rst theme, “production of attractive and reliable software at Internet speed” sums up the dilemma many software organisations face. In order to be competitive, software should contain advanced features and run r...
Software Process Improvement and Capability Determination
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Software Process Improvement and Capability Determination, SPICE 2011, held in Dublin, Ireland, in May/June 2011. The 15 revised full papers presented and 15 short papers were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on process modelling and assessment, safety and security, medi SPICE, high maturity, implementation and improvement.
The Medical Device Industry
The Medical Device industry is one of the fastest growing industries in the world. Device manufacturers are producing increasingly sophisticated and complex medical device software to differentiate themselves in the battle for dominance in this sector. The increase in the complexity of medical device software has introduced new challenges with respect to making medical devices and their associated software safe. Risk management has emerged as key in addressing these challenges. Existing literature on risk management for medical devices has been slow to adequately account for the complex nature of software in modern medical devices. Conversely, excellent progress has been made in the broader Software Engineering community with the production of holistic software risk based models such as the Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI®) and SPICE™. However, these models do not account for medical device specific requirements. This book examines the possibility of a unified approach whilst investigating the relevance of the CMMI® SPI model to the medical device regulatory requirements.
