It is 5 years since the publication of the seminal paper on “Design Science in Information Systems Research” by Hevner, March, Park, and Ram in MIS Quarterly and the initiation of the Information Technology and Systems department of the Communications of AIS. These events in 2004 are markers in the move of design science to the forefront of information systems research. A suf cient interval has elapsed since then to allow assessment of from where the eld has come and where it should go. Design science research and behavioral science research started as dual tracks when IS was a young eld. By the 1990s, the in ux of behavioral scientists started to dominate the number of design scientists and the eld moved in that direction. By the early 2000s, design people were having dif culty publishing in mainline IS journals and in being tenured in many universities. Yes, an annual Workshop on Information Technology and Systems (WITS) was established in 1991 in conju- tion with the International Conference on Information Systems (ICIS) and grew each year. But that was the extent of design science recognition. Fortunately, a revival is underway. By 2009, when this foreword was written, the fourth DESRIST c- ference has been held and plans are afoot for the 2010 meeting. Design scientists regained respect and recognition in many venues where they previously had little.

This volume presents papers from the fourth biennial Information Systems Foundation Workshop, held at The Australian National University in Canberra from 2¿3 October, 2008. The focus of the workshop was, as for the others in the series, the foundations of Information Systems as an academic discipline. The emphasis in this workshop was on the movement known as 'Design Science' and its importance in practical disciplines such as Information Systems. The chapters in the volume provide a critical examination of current design science ideas, with the role of human creativity given special mention. The philosophical underpinnings of design science thinking are also examined. Practically, the volume shows how the design science approach can be used in academic research that leads to artefacts that add value for individuals, organizations and society.

One of the most important uses of computers is (as an aid to managers) to provide up-to-date information to efficiently run their organizations. Of the total number of computers installed in the world today, over eighty percent are used in organizations for management information systems. It is thus very important for all students of management, commerce and computer science to know how to design computer-based information systems to aid management. This introductory text gives a lucid, self-contained presentation to students on how to analyse and design information systems for use by managers. Information Systems Analysis and Design (also known as System Analysis and Design) is a compulsory subject for MCA, BCA, B.Com. and B.E. students of Computer Science and Information Technology. This book covers the syllabus of this course and that of the DOEACC (Level A) examination. Thoroughly classroom tested and evolved out of twenty years of teaching Information Systems Design course at IIT Kanpur and IISc., Bangalore, this book presents real Indian examples. In this third edition every chapter has been updated, besides the addition of a new chapter on Use Case Method to reflect the rapid changes taking place in designing information systems. This book has been used to prepare learning material for the course Systems Analysis and Design for the National Programme for Technology Enhanced Learning of the Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India. The author has delivered 40 lectures on this topic which are available on YouTube. Besides, the book also contains supplementary materials such as PPTs and objective questions which are available on www.phindia.com/rajaraman_ADIS. KEY FEATURES: Covers comprehensively systems analysis and design. Discusses object-oriented modelling of information systems. A chapter on Electronic Commerce is unique to this book. Presents a detailed case study of a complete information system. Includes supplementary web material.

The data-processing environment is changing rapidly, which increases the challenge to remain up to date. Many organizations have data-processing problems because they concentrate on technical details rather than system analysis and design. The pressure to implement a new application quickly, with an emphasis on programming. Requirements definitions, system analysis, and system design are often done hurriedly--or not at all. Organizations which invest in defining what is needed, and building a prototype of the system so users can experiment with it before it is finalized are more successful in meeting their goals. This book is focused on these latter aspects as the most important elements of system design.
