Information Systems for eGovernment
by Prof. Carlo Univ. degli Studi di Milano Gianluigi Viscusi Massimo MecellaThe success of public sector investment in eGovernment initiatives strongly depends on effectively exploiting all aspects of ICT systems and infrastructures. The related objectives are hardly reachable without methodological frameworks that provide a holistic perspective and knowledge on the contexts of eGovernment initiatives. Yet public administrators usually have a mix of legal and administrative knowledge, while lacking an information systems background. With this book, Viscusi, Batini and Mecella provide a comprehensive methodology for service-oriented information systems planning, with special emphasis on eGovernment initiatives. They present the eG4M methodology which structurally supports the development of optimal eGovernment plans, considering technological, organizational, legal, economic and social aspects alike. The approach is focused on two pillars: the quality of the provided services and related processes, and the quality of the data managed in the administrative processes and services. The book is written for public administrators, decision-makers, practitioners, ICT professionals and graduate students, providing a comprehensive perspective of the challenges, opportunities and decisions related to strategic and operational planning of service-oriented information systems in eGovernment.

Information Systems for Knowledge Management
by Inès Saad Camille Rosenthal-Sabroux Faïez GargouriMore and more organizations are becoming aware of the importance of tacit and explicit knowledge owned by their members which corresponds to their experience and accumulated knowledge about the firm activities. However, considering the large amount of knowledge created and used in the organization, especially with the evolution of information and communications technologies, the firm must first determine the specific knowledge on which it is necessary to focus. Creating activities to enhance identification, preservation, and use of this knowledge is a powerful mean to improve the level of economical performance of the organization. Thus, companies invest on knowledge management programs, in order to develop a knowledge sharing and collaboration culture, to amplify individual and organizational learning, to make easier accessing and transferring knowledge, and to insure knowledge preservation. Several researches can be considered to develop knowledge management programs supported by information and knowledge systems, according to their context, their culture and the stakeholders' viewpoints.

Information Systems Management: Governance, Urbanization and Alignment
by Daniel Alban Philippe Eynaud Julien Malaurent Jean-Loup Richet Claudio VitariInformation Systems Management is intended to sensitize the heads of organizations to the issues raised by information systems (IS). Through its pedagogical presentation, the book ensures that issues related to IS are not left solely to the experts in the field. The book combines and analyzes three key concepts of IS: governance, urbanization and alignment. While governance requires the implementation of a number of means, bodies and procedures to manage IS more effectively, urbanization involves visualization methods to enable the manager to take into account the different levels of the organization of an IS and their coherence. Finally, alignment assesses the ability of the IS to make a significant contribution to the organization's strategy.

Information Systems Project Management
by David E. Avison Gholamreza TorkzadehView IS project management as an art as well as a science. . . . There are a number of books out there on project management. What is different and specific about this book? There is a balance between socio-cultural and technical aspects and there is a balance between qualitative and quantitative aspects – project management is seen as both an art and a science.It provides an information systems orientation for project management: neither information technology oriented on the one side nor production and operations oriented on the other, but of application to both within an organizational-wide view.It stresses information systems as a whole, not just software development – no project is successful if only software aspects are considered.It gives a truly international view of the domain – examples and experiences from different parts of the world add richness as well as context to the material. Globalization has ensured that most projects take on an international dimension.The book provides a coherent explanation of the concerns of the project manager as the project develops through the project life cycle – it does not follow a 'kitchen sink approach'.Each chapter has the following consistent structure: introduction and outline, an exhibit, the main text with examples, chapter summary, exercises, discussion questions, interview with project manager and appendix – this structure provides coherence and consistency.The exhibit, interview and appendix contain real-world examples, experiences, case studies, discussion material, software descriptions and professional codes – these provide material for class discussion and group work. The material has been used on our courses in the United States, Europe and Australia, given to practitioners as well as students (both undergraduate and postgraduate) – it has been well tested as part of our own project managemenThe material in this text has been proven successful through repeated use in courses in the United States, Europe, and Australia, by practitioners as well as undergraduate and postgraduate students.Intended AudienceThis core text is designed for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses such as Management Information Systems, Computer Information Systems, Information Systems, and Decision and Information Systems in the departments of information systems, information technology, and business.
Information Systems Reengineering, Integration and Normalization: Heterogeneous Database Connectivity
by Joseph S. Fong Kenneth Wong Ting YanDatabase technology is an important subject in Computer Science. Every large company and nation needs a database to store information. The technology has evolved from file systems in the 60’s, to Hierarchical and Network databases in the 70’s, to relational databases in the 80’s, object-oriented databases in the 90’s, and to XML documents and NoSQL today. As a result, there is a need to reengineer and update old databases into new databases. This book presents solutions for this task.In this fourth edition, Chapter 9 - Heterogeneous Database Connectivity (HDBC) offers a database gateway platform for companies to communicate with each other not only with their data, but also via their database. The ability of sharing a database can contribute to the applications of Big Data and surveys for decision support systems. The HDBC gateway solution collects input from the database, transfers the data into its middleware storage, converts it into a common data format such as XML documents, and then distributes them to the users. HDBC transforms the common data into the target database to meet the user’s requirements, acting like a voltage transformer hub. The voltage transformer converts the voltage to a voltage required by the users. Similarly, HDBC transforms the database to the target database required by the users.This book covers reengineering for data conversion, integration for combining databases and merging databases and expert system rules, normalization for eliminating duplicate data from the database, and above all, HDBC connects all legacy databases to one target database for the users.The authors provide a forum for readers to ask questions and the answers are given by the authors and the other readers on the Internet.
Information Systems Reengineering, Integration and Normalization
by Joseph Shi Piu FongTaking a very practical approach, the author describes in detail database conversion techniques, reverse engineering, forward engineering and re-engineering methodologies for information systems, offering a systematic software engineering approach for reusing existing database systems built with "old" technology. He demonstrates how the existing systems can be transformed into the new technologies with the preservation of semantic constraints and without loss of information. In this third edition, with a new chapter on Data Normalization the author shows once the databases have been converted, how to integrate them for consolidating information, and how to normalize them so that they are efficient and user friendly. Many examples, illustrations and case studies together with questions and answers ensure that the methodology is easy to follow. Ideal as a textbook for students studying information systems theories, Information Systems Reengineering Integration and Normalization will also be a valuable management reference book for Information Technology Practitioners.

Information Systems Research in Vietnam, Volume 3: A Shared Vision and New Frontiers
by Nguyen Hoang Thuan Dang-Pham Duy Hoanh-Su Le Tuan Q. PhanThis book, the third volume of Information Systems Research in Vietnam, presents a special theme that focuses on two emerging and critical topics of the twenty-first century: “Digital Transformation” and “Sustainable Development”. Digital transformation, which consists of digitization of products and digitalization of work processes, has brought forth exciting new business models that disrupt traditional industries. Digital transformation has been embedded in the 2030 National Digital Transformation Programme of the Vietnamese government, leading to numerous digital businesses that offer significant value in various sectors, including retail, manufacturing, education, and health care. Partly due to the United Nations (UN) 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) specifying the key development areas and outlining collective actions to ensure continuing peace and prosperity for people and the planet, organizations in Vietnam are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of sustainable development and the adoption of sustainability governance frameworks such as ESG to gain strategic advantages in the turbulent markets. Information systems (IS), in particular, has profound impacts on achieving Sustainable Development. However, best practices and case studies about Digital Transformation and how this transformation and IS applications influence Sustainable Development in Vietnam have not been documented and studied, in spite of the rapid developments in these areas in both public and private sectors. This book, therefore, contributes to the existing body of knowledge and benefits a wide range of readers in several ways. Firstly, the book benefits scholars and students, both in Vietnam and globally, by advancing knowledge and presenting research on the latest trends in contemporary topics such as Digital Transformation and Sustainable Development, especially in the under-researched Vietnam context. Secondly, industry practitioners and experts, both in Vietnam and globally, will benefit from reading this book to keep up with the current trends, case studies, and applications. Thirdly, by presenting the most up to date knowledge on the topic, this book creates a shared understanding to help facilitate future research in the IS field, as well as providing the background to pave the way for collaboration between scholars, experts, and industry practitioners.
