Systems analysis involves examining business problems
(opportunities) and identifying possible solutions, whereas
systems design includes the identification, specification, and
implementation of an information technology solution. The combined
field of Systems Analysis and Design (SAND) deals with all issues
related to the development of systems and, as such, is of central
importance to the Information Systems discipline, including
understanding how businesses can create value with new digital
technologies. The SIGSAND track provides a forum for discussing
research related to systems development tools, methodologies and
other activities throughout the systems development life cycle
(SDLC). This includes requirements determination, modeling
techniques and languages, agile systems development practices,
empirical evaluation of analysis and design methods, user
involvement in systems development, open source development,
design of systems architecture, and other technical and
organizational issues in systems development. Topics include, but
are not limited to:
− Systems Analysis and Design: Methodologies and Design Processes
− Systems Analysis and Design: Empirical Evaluations, Modeling
Methods, Techniques, and Languages
− Systems Analysis and Design: Requirements Elicitation, Modeling,
and Validation
− Analysis and Design for Service-Oriented Enterprises
− Micro-service-based Development
− Contemporary Issues in Agile Development
− Strategic Software Management: Issues, Experiences, and Theory
− Technical and Managerial Issues in Open Source Development
− User Participation and Involvement in Information Systems
Development
− Impact of Systems Analysis and Design on IS use (e.g., adoption,
information quality)
− Application of SAND concepts and principles beyond IS
development (e.g., in data analytics)
− Organizational Issues in Systems Analysis and Design
General Systems Analysis and Design
− New and Emerging SAND Tools and Approaches
Manuscripts can be submitted for the broad Systems Analysis and
Design track, or they can be submitted to a more focused
mini-track within the SAND track. Two more focused mini-tracks
that are a part of the Systems Analysis and Design Track are:
SIGSAND Minitrack 1: Contemporary Issues in DevOps and Agile
Development
Minitrack Chairs:
Sridhar Nerur (
snerur@exchange.uta.edu)
Venugopal Balijepally (

It is fair to say that agile methodologies – in some form or
manner – have been widely accepted in industry. We are farther
along in our understanding of various aspects of agile
development, including but not limited to its adoption,
adaptation, scalability, social aspects, project management,
distributed development, and enterprise agility. However, the
emergence of new technologies, the increase in regulatory
requirements, and the enormous changes that have occurred in the
development landscape present opportunities for new areas of
research. For example, the advent of DevOps and its interplay with
agile has scarcely been empirically investigated. Likewise, agile
methodologies appear to be a natural fit for Business Analytics
projects. Yet, there is not much empirical research on their
efficacy on such projects. This mini-track provides a forum for
researchers to address fundamental issues regarding DevOps and
agile development practices as well as contemporary topics raised
by its widespread acceptance and use.
SIGSAND Minitrack 2: Modeling Languages, Methodologies, Methods,
Techniques, and Tools
Minitrack Chairs:
Dominik Bork (
dominik.bork@univie.ac.at)
John Erickson (
johnerickson@unomaha.edu)
Xin Tan (
xtan@fdu.edu)
Keng Siau (
siauk@mst.edu)
This minitrack recognizes the important role modeling languages,
methodologies, methods, and tools play in SAND. This minitrack
provides a forum for researchers, educators, and practitioners
working in the areas of modelling language development, use,
modification, and evaluation. We are particularly interested in
papers that combine conceptual modelling with emerging trends like
Artificial Intelligence and in pieces that target the changing
role modelling and models can take now and in future.
An objective of this minitrack is to work toward a more
standardized set of concepts which would in turn benefit
researchers, educators, and practitioners in this field while also
considering recent developments in domain-specific conceptual
modelling. We welcome empirical, conceptual, theoretical, and
technical pieces, and are open to all research methods.
The most promising submissions will be invited for a fast-track to
the Journal of Database Management or Enterprise Modelling and
Information Systems Architectures – International Journal of
Conceptual Modeling.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
