Introduction:
Information Systems and Software Development is a very
dynamic, growing and important research area. It provides the finest and the
fastest way for solving the typical problems. Designing, developing, implementing,
and functioning a system involves a wide range of disciplines and many
application-specific constraints. To make sense of and take full advantage of
these systems, an excellent approach is needed? As software development plays a
major role for successfully run of information systems and also a good segment
of researchers are focusing on this area. Although this field is mature with
many aspects but the main issue with this technology is related to its concrete
link between software development and information systems, as it is highly
important factor as of all functional requirements based on it. Researchers
suggested so many different ways for the best use of information systems and
software developments. But it still need to be consider more, for getting more
accurate and precise results by applying new trends and techniques including merging
the concepts of both.
Objective of the Book:
This book aims to provide a comprehensive reference
for Information Systems and Software Development by covering all important
topics including the information systems and software development life cycle,
systems and software processes, functional and non-functional requirements, managing
software development and software quality, metrics and technology. In addition Software
Development Techniques for Constructive Information Systems Design will focus
on research and experience that could contribute to the improvement of
information systems and software development practices. The book's scope
includes methods, techniques and technology to better engineer software and
manage its development. It will extend the growing literature on the emerging
technologies and innovations in the field of Software development techniques and
Information System Design.
There is a need for recent edited book that focuses in merging the
concept of information systems and software development perspectives. Some
edited books focus in each perspective individually. However, merging both
perspectives gives a clear view about the current and future developments in
information system and software development.
Target Audience:
This book would serve a broad audience including researchers,
academicians, students, and working professionals in the field of information
systems and software development.
Recommended Topics for Chapter Proposals:
Papers or chapters submitted for review should have a clear component
of information systems analysis and design, software engineering or address
ways to improve the engineering and management of information systems and
software development.
Recommended topics include, but are not limited
to, the following:
v Introduction and
Overview of Information Systems and Software Development.
v information
systems and software development life cycle,
v systems and
software processes,
v functional and
non-functional requirements,
v diagrams and
representations,
v managing
software development,
v software
quality, metrics and technology,
v software
architecture, modeling, design and programming,
v Software testing
and verification and validation.
v Testing Strategy

v Ethics Privacy
and Information Security
v Data and
Knowledge management
v Project Planning
v Version Control
Submission Procedure:
Researchers, practitioners and
professionals are invited to submit on or before January 31, 2012, a
chapter proposal, maximum three pages long, clearly explaining the topic and
objectives of their proposed chapter. The proposal should be in Word or PDF
format and should be sent to nzaman at kfu.edu.sa or on any one of book editors email address. Authors
of accepted proposals will be notified by February 28, 2012 about the
status of their proposals and sent chapter guidelines if the proposal is
accepted. Full chapters are to be submitted by March 31, 2012. All
submitted chapters will be reviewed on a double-blind review basis.
Contributors may also be requested to serve as reviewers for this project.
