This book, geared toward researchers, designers, analysts and managers, reflects the most current primary issues regarding human-computer interactive systems, by emphasizing effective design, use and evaluation of such systems.
It is 5 years since the publication of the seminal paper on “Design Science in Information Systems Research” by Hevner, March, Park, and Ram in MIS Quarterly and the initiation of the Information Technology and Systems department of the Communications of AIS. These events in 2004 are markers in the move of design science to the forefront of information systems research. A suf cient interval has elapsed since then to allow assessment of from where the eld has come and where it should go. Design science research and behavioral science research started as dual tracks when IS was a young eld.

The advancementof the softwareindustry has hada substantialimpact notonly onproductivityandonGDPgrowthglobally,butalsoonourdailyworkandlife. Software business refers to commercial activity of the software industry, aimed at generating income from delivery of software products and software services. Although software business shares common features with other international knowledge-intensive businesses, it carries many inherent features making it an intriguing and challenging domain for research. Until now, however, software business has received little attention from the academic community. The First International Conference on Software Business (ICSOB 2010) was organized in Jyv ̈ askyl ̈...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of workshops, held at the 30th International Conference on Conceptual Modeling, ER 2011, in Brussels, Belgium in October/November 2011. The 31 revised full papers presented together with 9 posters and demonstrations (out of 88 submissions) for the workshops and the 6 papers (out of 11 submissions) for the industrial track were carefully reviewed and selected. The papers are organized in sections on the workshops Web Information Systems Modeling (WISM); Modeling and Reasoning for Business Intelligence (MORE-BI); Software Variability Management (Variability@ER); Ontologies and Conceptual Modeling (Onto.Com); Semantic and Conceptual Issues in GIS (SeCoGIS); and Foundations and Practices of UML (FP-UML).
The literature of Finland is bilingual, with lively and extensive traditions in both Finnish and Swedish. This history covers both literary traditions in detail. The volume?s first section, on Finnish-language literature, consists of a series of connected chapters by leading authorities within the field. It opens with a consideration of the folk literature in Finnish that flourished during the Middle Ages and then examines the more recent history of Finnish-language literature, with special emphasis placed on writings from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The second part of the book provides an examination of Finland?s Swedish-language literature from the late fifteenth century through the early nineteenth century. Subsequent chapters trace developments in Finland?s Swedish-language literature during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. A survey of children?s literature?from both the Finnish- and Swedish-language traditions?concludes this exceptionally thorough volume.
