Engineering Information Systems in the Internet Context

The rapid growth in Internet, World Wide Web and Intranet systems over the past decade has led to a demand for increased sophistication in established information services, engineering techniques and methods to improve the development of information systems in a World Wide Web environment. Engineering Information Systems in the Internet Context addresses key state-of-the-art developments in Internet based IS engineering, and covers the following issues: §- Specification and evaluation of Web IS design methodologies; §- Web application development methods; §- Method engineering in the Internet context; §- Internet market and Web services; §- Web application support tools; §- Data and service integration over the Web.§This timely book contains selected papers presented and discussed at the International Conference on Engineering Information Systems in the Internet Context, which was sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) and held in Kanazawa, Japan in September 2002. §Engineering Information Systems in the Internet Context will prove invaluable to anyone working in Information Systems development, management, implementation and evaluation, as well as to researchers and practitioners in software engineering, information engineering, management science, communications and economics.
