Critical Reflections on Information Systems: A Systemic Approach
While implementing IS and IT in support of their business strategies, companies are looking for ways to bridge the gap between their competitive position and technological investment, including ways to use this investment to the advantage of the organization. This book faces this challenge by offering ways to incorporate IT into such organizations while also successfully giving the company an edge over its competitors.
Adaptive Evolutionary Information Systems
Adaptive and evolutionary information systems enable both developers and users to change systems functionality. Such systems are required because of the changing nature of users' requirements. This is a critical area of research and practice for businesses that have to ensure that their investment in IT/IS is capable of changing with the needs of the business. Adaptive Evolutionary Information Systems focuses on the pertinent issues and challenges surrounding the implementation of information systems within businesses and organizations.
Web-powered Databases
This text provides a snapshot of contemporary research and development activities in the area of Web and Internet databases. It also provides case studies of successful Web database applications, including an online pay claim, a product catalogue and multiple-choice assessment through the Web.
Integrative Document & Content Management
Portals present unique strategic challenges in the academic environment. Their conceptualization and design requires the input of campus constituents who seldom interact and whose interests are often opposite. The implementation of a portal requires a coordination of applications and databases controlled by different campus units at a level that may never before have been attempted at the institution. Building a portal is as much about constructing intra-campus bridges as it is about user interfaces and content. Designing Portals: Opportunities and Challenges discusses the current status of portals in higher education by providing insight into the role portals play in an institution's business and educational strategy, by taking the reader through the processes of conceptualization, design, and implementation of the portals (in different stages of development) at major universities and by offering insight from three producers of portal software systems in use at institutions of higher learning and elsewhere.
Web-Enabled Systems Integration: Practices and Challenges
The advances of the WWW have dramatically increased the need for efficient and flexible mechanisms to provide integration methods for multiple information sources, which has caused a need for a careful integration of the concepts and systems. It is of great importance for issues and concerns to be identified and handled, in order to ensure the continuous building of systems for ever-changing technology and business requirements. Web-Enabled Systems Integration: Practices and Challenges consists of a collection of quality research papers that describe original ideas and insights associated with the task of integration.
Advanced Topics in Database Research
Written for researchers and technical professionals, this book emphasizes the theoretical aspects of database systems. Its 19 chapters discuss enhancement of current database models, refinement of contemporary techniques, the integration of database and Internet technology, and applications of unified modeling language.
Digital Forensics and Cyber Crime
This book contains a selection of thoroughly refereed and revised papers from the Second International ICST Conference on Digital Forensics and Cyber Crime, ICDF2C 2010, held October 4-6, 2010 in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. The field of digital forensics is becoming increasingly important for law enforcement, network security, and information assurance. It is a multidisciplinary area that encompasses a number of fields, including law, computer science, finance, networking, data mining, and criminal justice. The 14 papers in this volume describe the various applications of this technology and cover a wide range of topics including law enforcement, disaster recovery, accounting frauds, homeland security, and information warfare.
Knowledge and Information Technology Management: Human and Social Perspectives
Success in an increasingly competitive market depends on the quality of knowledge which organisations apply to their major business processes. For example, a supply chain depends on knowledge of diverse areas, including raw materials, planning, manufacturing, and distribution. Likewise, product development requires knowledge of consumer requirements, new science, new technology, and marketing. Knowledge is broadly defined as credible information that is of potential value to an organisation. Knowledge management (KM) is a function of generation and dissemination of information, developing a shared understanding of information, filtering shared understandings into degrees of potential value, and storing valuable knowledge within the confines of an accessible organisational mechanism.
Data Mining
Data Mining: Opportunities and Challenges presents an overview of the state of the art approaches in this new and multidisciplinary field of data mining. The primary objective of this book is to explore the myriad issues regarding data mining, specifically focusing on those areas that explore new methodologies or examine case studies. This book contains numerous chapters written by an international team of forty-four experts representing leading scientists and talented young scholars from seven different countries.
