Final System

It is now clear that a careful initial phase of design, above all that it concerns for the complex Web information systems, it is essential to assure the quality of the final system. To reduce the necessary time development effort in order to get the final output, it is important to have tools that allow quickly obtatining tangible results; in few words, it is important to quickly obtain a consistent part of code for the final application. In this way, it is possible to provide the customer with a first draft of the information system in order to have a first validation of the design.

The significance of approaching Web information systems (WIS) from an engineering viewpoint is emphasized. A methodology for deploying patterns as means for improving the quality of WIS as perceived by their stakeholders is presented. In doing so, relevant quality attributes and corresponding stakeholder types are identified. The role of a process, feasibility issues, and the challenges in making optimal use of patterns are pointed out. Examples illustrating the use of patterns during macro- and micro-architecture design of a WIS, with the purpose of the improvement of quality attributes, are given.

The Web

The evolution of Web information is of utmost importance in the design of good Web Information Systems applications. New emerging paradigms, like the Semantic Web, use ontologies for describing metadata and are defined, in part, to aid in Web evolution. In this chapter, we survey techniques for ontology evolution. After identifying the different kinds of evolution with which the Web is confronted, we detail the various existing languages and techniques devoted to Web data evolution, with particular attention to Semantic Web concepts, and how these languages and techniques can be adapted to evolving data in order to improve the quality of Web Information Systems applications.

Purpose This paper aims to present a case study of the Metamorphosis process in the development of a mobile application based on an existing web information system. Design/methodology/approach The paper presents the design and execution of a case study to investigate the feasibility of using the Metamorphosis process to create mobile applications based on existing web information systems. This case study reports the development of a mobile version from SIGEventos web information system. Findings The use of Metamorphosis process for the development of SIGEventos Mobile, based on SIGEventos web version, allowed the investigation of the feasibility of it on creation of mobile applications based on existing web information systems. This process was considered useful for creating mobile applications based on existing information systems. Originality/value This paper presents a case study of Metamorphosis process.

Organizational Semiotics

It is already agreed that requirements have a critical impact on the quality and users satisfaction of the resulting software. In this work, web information systems are reviewed from the perspective of organizational semiotics as being part of an organization, which comprises work practices, rules and views of the same system by different stakeholders. This paper presents a case study, where artifacts of the organizational semiotics are exploited in a collaborative and participatory way to requirements elicitation of a web information system.

Definition Of

Recent years have seen the arrival of the Internet as the platform that supports most areas within organizations, a fact which has led to the appearance of specific methodologies and tools for the construction of Web information systems (WIS). However, an absence of functionalities for the verification and validation (V&V) has been detected in the methodologies and tools of the models which have been built. This chapter presents one of these methodologies for WIS development (MIDAS) and shows how it has been completed with the definition of a strategy for the formal specification of its models with V&V objectives. This will contribute to increasing the quality of the models used in WIS development. The plug-in architecture which integrates this formal approach within CASE tools for WIS development is also shown.

AbstractAssuming that a formerly unknown quantity and quality of market data triggered a revolution in marketing information, we explore international marketing strategies and the significance of marketing information systems in the context of the re-internationalization of the pharmaceutical enterprises Bayer and Schering after 1945. Both companies faced an information deluge, and in both cases, distinct approaches to a modern marketing information system can be observed since the mid-1960s.
