The high-demand from the software industry led to the development of many Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) models that help produce high quality software within budget and time constraints. Most of these SDLC models do not completely cover security as early as possible in the development cycle. Since security is a major concern to the users and the developers, adopting it at the early sta...

Information systems (IS) building, as described in the literature, consist of two main phases: IS strategic planning and IS development. The IS strategic planning phase is performed every few years and produces a long-term strategic plan. The IS development phase is performed annually by IS management and produces a development plan for the next year and outlines development activities. The act...

To serve its purpose as a backbone for business integration, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems need to be integrated with other information systems inside and outside the boundaries of an enterprise. An inductive case study was made to examine a long-term ERP system of a large manufacturing enterprise to better understand the nature and importance of ERP system integration. Our results...

Development life cycles are useful for developing systems since they offer methodologies and models. Although, there are different models or methodologies to develop systems with different purposes, but there is no such comprehensive or complete one for knowledge management systems. The reason may be the complexity and the variety of related topics in knowledge management, which is an interdisc...

There is a myriad of system development methodologies, techniques, and tools that have been developed ever since businesses started using computers for information processing. However, there is no real consensus on the aptness or applicability of these methods. There are proponents and critics of each method, and different organizations use different methods. This article identifies many of the...

Garikapati, Kentucky State University, U.S.A _____________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract: While impossible to eliminate all risk from organizational operations, one of the most effective ways to protect organization assets is through the incorporati...

The purpose of this paper is to describe the development and use of a framework for studying the dynamics of the maintenance system of a fleet of military-aircraft engines in a holistic way, as far as both time and place are concerned. The framework is based on a modular system dynamics simulation model of all the inter-related systems, which are involved throughout the life-cycle of the engine...

The impact of a system development lifecycle (SDLC) often determines the success of a project from analysis to evolution. Although SDLC can be universally used design projects, a focused SDLC for a specific complex design issue could be valuable for understanding diverse user needs. The importance of sustainability elevation using a persuasive system is not new. Previous research presented fram...
