Information Systems Development Towards a Service Provision Society

Information Systems Development: Towards a Service Provision Society is the collected proceedings of the Seventeenth International Conference on Information Systems Development: Towards a Service Provision Society – ISD 2008 Conference, held in Paphos, Cyprus. It follows in the tradition of previous conferences in the series in exploring the connections between industry, research and education.

These proceedings represent ongoing reflections within the academic community on established information systems topics and emerging concepts, approaches and ideas. It is hoped that the papers herein contribute towards disseminating research and improving practice.

The conference tracks highlighted at the Seventeenth International Conference on Information Systems Development (ISD 2008) were:

• Information Systems Engineering & Management
