This report captures the development, lessons learned, and future recommendations from a collaborative research and development activity between the Air Force sponsored Comprehensive Approach to Reusable Defense Software (CARDS) Program, the Department of Defense (DoD), and the Software Engineering Institute (SEI). This activity explored innovative but practical techniques for formalizing and a...

Introducing process-aware information systems (PAIS) in enterprises (e.g., workflow management systems, case handling systems) is associated with high costs. Though cost evaluation has received considerable attention in software engineering for many years, it is difficult to apply existing evaluation approaches to PAIS. This difficulty particularly stems from the inability of these techniques t...

fuzzy control systems have had various applications in a wide range of science and engineering in recent years. since an unstable control system is typically useless and potentially dangerous, stability is the most important requirement for any control system (including fuzzy control system). conceptually, there are two types of stability for control systems: lyapunov stability (a special case ...

New approaches to the development of information systems, based on components reuse, are now preferred to traditional ones. Patterns and frameworks are among the most frequently “re-used” components in such approaches. In particular, patterns are frequently used for the development and the adaptation of a framework. Nevertheless, the development and the adaptation of a framework are two process...

It has been ten years since Truex et al. (1999) advocated the continuous development of information systems by business professionals or workers themselves. A few methods for systems analysis (SA) by business professionals have appeared during this time. However, systems analysis by business professionals has not gained widespread interest among researchers. One of the reasons is considered tha...

In this paper we describe the cases developed in response to the multifaceted challenges we faced in educating IT professionals in intermediate-level programming. The challenges included: the practical nature of the subject, the level of skill attained, preparing students for the workplace and class size. We implemented ProblemBased Learning (PBL) as the teaching and learning method to meet the...

Management accounting highlights the use of accounting information for decision making and optimal control and management of executives in organizations. Accounting information is provided comprehensively by the accounting information system (AIS). To develop the AIS, the maturity of the system should be determined. In this regard, the first step is to identify and categorize maturity factors a...
