Despite the rapid advancement of technology in the last few decades, accurate, on-time and on-budget completion of information systems development projects is still a vision rather than a reality. The software crisis is still very much alive in the new millennium as it was in the last. The sudden popularity of Internet and electronic commerce poses a new challenge to the software engineering community. With the increasing importance of electronic commerce in the beginning of the new millennium, organizations will be competing to design and develop Web-based applications. However, existing information modeling methods might not be suitable for supporting such activities. This chapter looks at some of the challenges and issues involved in engineering methods for analysis and design of Web-based information systems. It then discusses some of the research directions for information modeling in the new millennium.

Cooperatives as one of the economic activity actors in Indonesia must transform operational activities and management to keep abreast of technology in the current digital era. Operational and management activities at the XYZ School cooperative are currently limited to desktop-based systems. These activities certainly need to be developed following the era of digitalization and current technological developments. Operational time of cooperatives is a major obstacle in savings and loan cooperatives at XYZ School. Operational and management activities in the current technological era should not be limited by time and place, making it easier for cooperative staff members and members in operational activities at the XYZ School savings and loan cooperatives. Based on these conditions, the authors make a prototype research on the Development of a Savings and Loan Cooperative Information System at XYZ Schools Using the Throwaway Prototyping Development Method. Research begins with gathering needs, defining the overall objective of the software, identifying all needs, then designing information systems. The results of the development of analysis and design will be illustrated in the form of UML diagrams and the design of a savings and loan information system screen at the Web-Based XYZ School. With the development of cooperative information systems it can help cooperative staff and members to carry out operational activities without being limited by school operational hours, the information produced is more informative and can be accessed anytime and anywhere.

Web-enabled standard software for electronic commerce incorporating adaptive components will reduce the barriers between productive data processing and dispositive data processing like market analysis, Web-tracking, or data warehouses. A conceptual research framework for analyzing the evolution of electronic markets as well as their business ecosystem represents the foundation of a document-oriented modeling technique for analyzing and designing (adaptive) Web-based Mass Information Systems. A Java prototype based on this meta-model is presented which supports cooperative efforts of academic research, IS departments, top-level management, and functional units to map and classify individual and aggregated customer behavior. The symbolic visualization of user clickstreams based on this analysis is intended to streamline the decision processes necessary for implementing, updating and maintaining complex Web-enabled applications.

In modern Web-based information systems (WIS), the personalization of presentations and contents is becoming a major requirement. Personalization means adaptation to user’s requirements and goals, as well as adaptation to user’s technology and environment (Levene & Poulovassilis, 2004). Application fields where content personalization can be useful are manifold; they comprise e-government, online advertising, direct Web marketing, electronic commerce, online learning and teaching, and so forth. The need for adaptation arises from different aspects of the interaction between users and Web/hypermedia systems. User classes to be dealt with are increasingly heterogeneous due to different interests and goals, large-scale deployment of information and services, and so on. Furthermore, WIS should be made accessible from different user’s terminals, which can differ not only at the software level (browsing and elaboration capabilities) but also in terms of ergonomic interfaces (scroll buttons, voice commands, etc.). Finally, different kinds of network (e.g., wired or wireless) and other network-related conditions (e.g., bandwidth, latency, error rate, etc.) should be considered to obtain a comfortable and useful interaction.

If academic institutions are to be responsive to changing student and industry requirements, they need to continually match their academic offerings with both market and student requirements. In recent years, universities throughout the world have experienced a serious decline in student enrolments in information systems and electronic commerce programmes. From existing literature as well as from empirical studies, this chapter explores the skills acquisition process of information systems students in order to match undergraduate and graduate perceptions of “hard” and “soft” skills requirements in the Internet Age.

E-commerce technologies are continually evolving, bringing about innovative developments and resultant benefits. Herein one such visionary path for existing on-line systems to adopt is presented. An emerging set of models is discussed which combines intelligent systems, mobile code applications (MCAs) and Web-based systems. Such technologies are presented to illustrate the impact upon the numerous new value-adds for users brought about by e-commerce vendors. These are discussed in context of current developments in related fields, to expose the full gains from the integrated systems synergy. Furthermore, we conclude with an expected business model for electronic commerce in the new millennium and beyond.
