Knowledge workers create the innovations and strategies that keep their firms competitive and the economy healthy. Yet, companies continue to manage this new breed of employee with techniques designed for the Industrial Age. As this critical sector of the workforce continues to increase in size and importance, that's a mistake that could cost companies their future. Thomas Davenport argues that knowledge workers are vastly different from other types of workers in their motivations, attitudes, and need for autonomy--and, so, they require different management techniques to improve their performance and productivity. Based on extensive research involving over 100 companies and more than 600 kno...

NGITS2002 was the ?fth workshop of its kind, promoting papers that discuss new technologies in information systems. Following the success of the four p- vious workshops (1993, 1995, 1997, and 1999), the ?fth NGITS Workshop took place on June 24–25, 2002, in the ancient city of Caesarea. In response to the Call for Papers, 22 papers were submitted. Each paper was evaluated by three Program Committee members. We accepted 11 papers from 3 continents and 5 countries, Israel (5 papers), US (3 papers), Germany, Cyprus, and The Netherlands (1 paper from each). The workshop program consisted of ?ve paper sessions, two keynote lectures, and one panel discussion. The topics of the paper sessions are: Advanced Query Processing, Web Applications, Moving Objects, Advanced Information Models, and Advanced Software Engineering. We would like to thank all the authors who submitted papers, the program committee members, the presenters, and everybody who assisted in making NGITS2002 a reality.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 15th Brazilian Symposium on Formal Methods, SBMF 2012, held in Natal, Brazil, in September 2012; co-located with CBSoft 2012, the Third Brazilian Conference on Software: Theory and Practice. The 14 revised full papers presented together with 2 keynotes were carefully reviewed and selected from 29 submissions. The papers presented cover a broad range of foundational and methodological issues in formal methods for the design and analysis of software and hardware systems as well as applications in various domains.
The proceedings features several key-note addresses in the areas of advanced information processing tools. This area has been recognized to be one of the key five technologies poised to shape the modern society in the next decade. It aptly focuses on the tools and techniques for the development of Information Systems. Emphasis is on pattern recognition and image processing, software engineering, mobile ad hoc networks, security aspects in computer networks, signal processing and hardware synthesis, optimization techniques, data mining and information processing.
This text for practical graduate and undergraduate courses in information systems development discusses systems analysis and development methodology, and describes activities, tools, and techniques for analyzing business requirements for an improved system in the front-end, middle life, and back-end cycles. The authors also provide modules on phases of systems development that span life cycles, such as project management, information gathering, cost- benefit analysis, and joint application development.

ETAPS2000wasthethirdinstanceoftheEuropeanJointConferencesonTheory and Practice of Software. ETAPS is an annual federated conference that was established in 1998 by combining a number of existing and new conferences. This year it comprisedv e conferences (FOSSACS, FASE, ESOP,CC, TACAS), ve satellite workshops (CBS, CMCS, CoFI, GRATRA, INT), seven invited lectures, a panel discussion, and ten tutorials. The events that comprise ETAPS address various aspects of the system - velopmentprocess,includingspeci cation,design,implementation,analysis,and improvement. The languages, methodologies, and tools which support these - tivities are all well within its scope. Die rent blends of theory and pract...
