Information Systems Project Management
Undergraduate and postgraduate courses in Project Management and Information Systems. Research indicates that over half of all IT projects overshoot their budget and timetables while failing to deliver their goals. As a result IT project management has become a serious area of study and this book has been written to back up these courses. Readers of Information Systems Project Management will develop a firm understanding of the practical nature and problems of projects, the ability to apply effective methods and techniques to facilitate the management task, and good team building skills.
One Way Street
'Fresh, original, authentic and gritty' A series of bizarre drug-related deaths among runaway teenagers has set the North East's homeless community on edge. The word on the street is that a rogue batch of Spice - the zombie drug sweeping the inner cities - is to blame, but when one of Jimmy's few close friends is caught up in the carnage, loyalty compels him to find out what's really going on. One Way Street sees the welcome return of Jimmy Mullen, the homeless, PTSD-suffering, veteran as he attempts to rebuild his life following the events in The Man on the Street. As his probation officer constantly reminds him: all he needs to do is keep out of trouble. Sadly for him, trouble seems to have a habit of tracking Jimmy down. Praise for One Way Street 'A compelling tale' Sun 'Riveting . . . highly recommended' Patricia Gibney 'One of the most unique sleuths in crime fiction' Daily Express 'A triumphant sequel' Harriet Tyce 'Brings humanity and a vital dash of humour to his portrait of life on the mean streets of Tyneside' Daily Mail 'Smart, thought-provoking . . . with bags of heart and humanity' Mari Hannah 'Gritty yet compassionate' Philippa East 'A real triumph' Nikki Smith
Fostering Communication and Learning With Underutilized Technologies in Higher Education
Higher education is undergoing radical changes with the arrival of emerging technology that can facilitate better teaching and learning experiences. However, with a lack of technical awareness, technophobia, and security and trust issues, there are several barriers to the uptake of emerging technologies. As a result, many of these new technologies have been overlooked or underutilized. In the information systems and higher education domains, there exists a need to explore underutilized technologies in higher education that can foster communication and learning. Fostering Communication and Learning With Underutilized Technologies in Higher Education is a critical reference source that provide...
Developing Web Information Systems
Developing Web Information Systems brings together traditional system development methods that have been taught for many years on information systems and computer science courses with web/e-commerce development. It is the first book to bring together IS development and the web applications in a thorough and systematic way. There is a running case study that illustrates web IS development from start to finish. The case is easy to understand (a theatre) and results in a working web application. Most, if not all, analysis and design texts fall short of making that step into software. The book draws heavily on practical experiences of web-based IS development resulting from commercial system dev...
Advanced Topics in End User Computing
Features the latest research findings dealing with end user computing concepts, issues and trends. Empirical and theoretical research concerned with all aspects of end user computing including development, utilization and management are included.
Research Methodologies, Innovations and Philosophies in Software Systems Engineering and Information Systems
Philosophical paradigms, theoretical frameworks, and methodologies make up the answering and problem solving systems that define current research approaches. While there are multiple research method books, the subject lacks an update and integrated source of reference for graduate courses. Research Methodologies, Innovations and Philosophies in Software Systems Engineering and Information Systems aims to advance scientific knowledge on research approaches used in systems engineering, software engineering, and information systems and to update and integrate disperse and valuable knowledge on research approaches. This aims to be a collection of knowledge for PhD students, research-oriented faculty, and instructors of graduate courses.
Human Benefit through the Diffusion of Information Systems Design Science Research
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 2010 Joint International Working C- ference of the International Federation for Information Processing Working Groups 8.2 and 8.6. Both working groups are part of IFIP Technical Committee 8, the tech- cal committee addressing the field of Information Systems. IFIP WG 8.2, the Inter- tion of Information Systems and Organizations, was established in 1977. IFIP WG 8.6, Diffusion, Transfer and Implementation of Information Technology, was est- lished in 1994. In accordance with their respective themes, both IFIP WG 8.2 and IFIP WG 8.6 have long had an interest in the human impact of information systems. In December 1998, they held a joint working conf...
Human Computer Interaction Development & Management
Annotation Management can no longer continue to introduce components into information systems without studying the effectiveness, feasibility and efficiency of the individual components of that system. Human Computer Interaction Development and Management contains the most recent research concerning IS evolution in organizations, including not only hardware, software, data, information, and networks but also people.
Information Science in Transition
Are we at a turning point in digital information? The expansion of the internet was unprecedented; search engines dealt with it in the only way possible - scan as much as they could and throw it all into an inverted index. But now search engines are beginning to experiment with deep web searching and attention to taxonomies, and the Semantic Web is demonstrating how much more can be done with a computer if you give it knowledge. What does this mean for the skills and focus of the information science (or sciences) community? Should information designers and information managers work more closely to create computer based information systems for more effective retrieval? Will information scienc...
