Call for Papers
The 25rd International Conference on Information Systems Development (ISD2016) will be hosted by the University of Economics in Katowice, Poland.
The ISD2016 Conference theme: Complexity in Information Systems Development
Complexity in information system development is manifested by projects and research works focusing on technological issues as well as on social, organizational and economic issues. Researchers are invited to present a wide spectrum of attitudes ranging from methodological and educational challenges to original scientific solutions. The theme of the 25th ISD Conference includes considerations of context, creativity and cognition in information systems development field which enable information systems to be examined as they are actually developed, implemented and used. Context-aware computing refers to the ability of computing devices to detect and sense, interpret and respond to, aspects of a user's local environment and the computing devices themselves. The considerations of context are important for mobile applications development. Cognition and creativity are also present in an organisation’s development efforts, in the identification of new markets and technologies, and in their ICT projects. Context, creativity and cognition have different interpretations in social and technical sciences, which encourages inter-, cross-, multi- and intradisciplinary research.
The ISD2016 conference will be organised around a number of new and well established tracks. See the descirption of the Conference Tracks for more information.
Submission of Papers:
ISD2016 is soliciting original, unpublished completed research papers and research-in-progress papers. All papers must be in English and submitted via the
EasyChair conference management system.
For details about paper formatting see the
Submission Details.
All submissions will undergo a double-blind peer-review process.
To enable more publication opportunities, each paper should normally not be written by more than 4 authors.

Conference Tracks
The ISD2016 conference emphasizes a number of new and well established tracks. Click on the track title to see the details on conference tracks, topics and track chairs.
T1-IS: Information Systems Methodologies and Modeling
Track description:
Motivation Information Systems Methodologies and Modeling have been changing considerably through time. Once synonymous of blueprinting for the coding of solutions from scratch, they nowadays must account for a mature software market, where complex solutions, such as ERPs, CRMs, and Business Process Management (BPM) systems can be acquired and integrated to address the business needs.
On top of that, a lot of those solutions are now sourced from the cloud, in the form of Software-as-a-Service. Finally, as services account for around 70% of the GDP of developed economies, methodologies and modeling must also evolve to encompass the design of those services and their underlying information systems.
Track topics include (but not limited to):
- User involvement, user experience design, human computer interaction, assistive technologies;
- Agility in IS development;
- Model-driven development, domain engineering, aspect oriented programming;
- Data analysis and visualization;
- BPM and Intelligence;
- integration and interoperability;
- IS modeling and simulation;
- IS for micro, small and large enterprises;
- Business transactions for large-scale data;
- Semantics in business modeling;
- Multidimensional modeling and queries;
- Business performance management;
- Business process optimization;
- Business process simulation;
- Business process analysis and design;
- Collaborative, participative, and interactive modeling (CPI Modeling);
- Modeling methods and languages

T2-Dev: Managing IS Development
Motivation
We are in the amazing period of change. Information systems and underlying infrastructure are becoming increasingly complex and costly to implement and maintain. New approaches for the design, development, assessment, and management of information technology and systems within organizations, businesses, and societies are needed to handle the complexity in data management and diversity in semantic processing of the information systems. The “Managing IS Development” track at ISD 2016 will aim at promoting research directions and share practical experiences on managing IS development by providing a forum where academic and industrial researchers on different areas can share and disseminate ideas and experiences related to innovative practices, methods and technologies. Authors are invited to submit papers describing original research in all areas related to managing IS development.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- ICT governance
- Strategies and philosophical aspects of ICT
- Emerging issues in managing IS development
- Interdisciplinary problems in IS research and development
- Human factors in IS development
- Enterprise Architecture Management
- Knowledge management for IS development
- Service oriented IS engineering
- Quality of Service
- Quality of IS models and design
- IS security and privacy
- Model-driven development and technologies
- Agile enterprise models and architectures
- ICT project management
- Architectural cloud models, data storage and computation in the cloud
- Monitoring and auditing in the cloud
- Cloud-based IS engineering
- Resource virtualization, virtual meeting and teleworking
- Business driven Service Level Management
- Business ICT alignment
- Business continuity management
- DevOps for IS development
- Microservices in ISD
- IoT-driven and -enabled IS Development Complexity issues in managing ISD
