Lots of investment projects of new development and redevelopment for information systems have been not taken care of in the field of administration and evaluation, for these information systems projects have unique characteristics such as technology sensitiveness, network effectiveness, embeddedness, and externality. In fact, quantitative and qualitative evaluation of investments in information systems projects are not sufficient. It is critically important to generally evaluate benefits of development or operation cost, urgency, external effects, and so on. In addition, the efficient monitoring and effective analysis of information systems are surely needed for beneficient results of investment in information systems. We propose an economics evaluation model for information systems projects.

Developing Information Systems is a process of decomposing the entire systems into sub systems and identifying a hierarchical structure among the sub systems. Diagrammatic representation of hierarchy is an essential part of systems development since the identified hierarchical structures are usually presented in diagrams. The main goal of this research is to identify the most effective ways of representing system structures using diagrams. In order to achieve the main goal, this study performed three phases of research. In the first step, a theoretical model was constructed to conceptually explain users' comprehension on diagrams. Then visual factors of diagrammatic representations were identified based on the diagrams used in systems development. Finally, three consecutive experiments were conducted to identify the impacts of visual factors on the level of users' comprehension. The results indicate that familiarity and affordance of diagrams affect the degree of comprehension about the diagrams, which is in turn influenced by the complexity of tasks and the types of hierarchies. This paper concludes with the limitations of the study results and implications in the development of information systems.

The purpose of this study was to examine some of the most important factors for the development of information systems with today's fast-paced, ever-changing, and exciting information system environment. Especially, it was focused to investigate current information technology related to develop information systems, to find some important problems during the development process, and to suggest solutions for the problems. Case research methodology was used because a natural setting was needed and a focus was on contemporary events for this study. Similarly, research phenomena was not supported by a strong theoretical base. The case was the development of an integrated information systems in a specific university. Multiple-case designs were desirable, but single-case study was used because of limitations of site selection. Multiple data collection methods were employed in this study such as documentation, interviews, and direct observation. Some major problems were found during the system development. First, the schedule to complete a project was delayed over six months. Second, the system did not ensure to align organizational goals and information systems goals based on BPR (Business Process Reengineering). Third, there was a difficulty in evaluating request for proposal (RPR) returns and choosing a vendor. Finally, information technology is changing too fast. So, it was very difficult to get the transparency of new technology The study has suggested a few solutions: top management support, matching If planning with business planning, complete project plan and control, user participation, and training Finally, joint application development (JAD) is strongly recommended, which is a workshop that unites management, IT specialists, and knowledge workers to define and specify the logical requirements and technical alternatives for a proposed system.

Model-driven and component-oriented development is increasingly being used in the development of embedded systems. When combined, both paradigms provide several advantages, such as higher reuse rates, and improved system quality. Performing model-driven and component-oriented development should be accompanied by a component model and a method that prescribes how the component model is used. This article provides an overview on the MARMOT method, which consists of an abstract component model and a methodology for the development of embedded systems. The paper describes a feasibility study that demonstrates MARMOT's capability to alleviate system design, verification, implementation, and reuse. Results indicate that model-driven and component-based development following the MARMOT method outperforms Agile development for embedded systems, leads to maintainable systems, and higher than normal reuse rates.

To protect information resources, many organizations including private corporate and government employ integrated information security systems which provide the functions of intrusion detection, firewall, and virus vaccine. So, in order to develop a reliable integrated information security system during the development life cycle, the managers in charge of the development of the system must effectively distribute the development resources to the quality factors of an integrated information security system. This study suggests a distribution methodology that minimizes the total cost with satisfying the minimum quality level of an integrated information security system by appropriately assigning development resources to quality factors considered. To achieve this goal, we identify quality factors of an integrated information system and then measure the relative weights among the quality factors using analytic hierarchy process (AHP). The suggested distribution methodology makes it possible to search an optimal solution which minimizes the total cost with satisfying the required quality levels of processes by assigning development resources to quality factors during the development life cycle.

A significant body of information systems research is concerned with user participation as a means to improve user satisfaction within systems development. In spite of the many studies in this area, findings are not consistent or cumulative. One of the reasons for this is not to be considered the type of systems. Most research are focusing on traditional system development under the mainframe environment instead of under end-user based environment like web-based information system or ERP. End-user based environment requires user's strong initiatives in the system development life cycle. It means the user\`s simple participation is not enough and user-led-development is more appropriate for the system success. This paper can call this new concept is end-user joint work which means user has to participate in the system development as a co-developer. This paper investigates how the end-user joint work contributes end-user satisfaction and two variables in particular-job complexity and technical competence-moderate the outcomes of end-user joint work Analysis of 112 independent systems development projects indicated that end-user joint work has a direct relationship with end-user satisfaction. In addition, the two variables were found to moderate key roles on this relationship. That is, the strength of this relationship depended on the level of these factors.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the optimal development direction of the land management information systems in Korea. In order to produce a new LMIS model the existing model of Tulloch(1996) was evaluated. Analysis of the land management information systems(LMIS) is focused on the period of 1998 and 2001. The main results of the study are as follows: First, the government should involve GIS(Geographic Information Systems) into the e-government. Second, the KLIS(Korea Land Information Systems) is required technological and legal infrastructure for the service using optimized land management information systems as combining LMIS and PBLIS(Parcel based Land Information Systems). Third, the spatial data of the LMIS can be promoted by ensuring reliable IT environments. Forth, optimized LMIS should be revised to reflect the new technological environment and collaborative relationship between LIS and GIS boundaries and between LMIS, urban infrastructure, and related information sectors. Fifth, In terms of services LMIS is required focusing end users rather than supplier focused strategy.

Identifying knowledge as the single most important asset ultimately defining organizational competitiveness, enterprises are trying to move towards knowledge-oriented practices. Such practices have given rise to learning and agile organization, This paper presents applied information technologies to realize the learning and agile organization, focusing on systems thinking. Firstly, in order to establish a framework for the systems thinking, an information systems development method based on process chain is proposed. Then, an agent-based microworld simulation approach is presented. The approaches provide visible and analytical information to knowledge workers so that they can have systems thinking capabilities eventually. Various microworlds on the top of the information system can be constructed with agents and simulated for possible business events. All decision makings are dynamic in nature. To let knowledge workers look ahead the possible outcomes of the whole relevant processes is the core capability of the approaches. Through watching, the knowledge workers would be able to acquire new insights or problem solving knowledge for the problem in hand.

Nowadays, domestic hospital business is under the great threat from the environmental changes caused by the entrance of foreign hospitals and the technical changes related to information systems. In such a situation, to enhance the competitive edge of a hospital, it is needed to set up a competitive strategy and to construct an efficient information systems to back up the competitive strategy. If the hospital information systems(HIS) is consistent with a competitive strategy backing up, the competitive force of a hospital will be enhanced. For this respect, the influence of the competitive strategy and HIS construction environments on the performance of HIS was examined. The results suggested that if a HIS should be newly constructed or should be restructured, it is necessary to select construction environments of HIS such as physical environments, development methods and development tools to support functional strategy effectively based on the competitive strategy adopted by a hospital.
