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 (balijepa@oakland.edu)
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.
