Preface

Chapters

Chapter 1

Agile Software Development in Practice (pages 1-32)

Matti Rossi, Hilkka Merisalo-Rantanen, Tuure Tuunanen

This chapter explores agile information practices of information systems development and argues that their history is much longer than what is generally believed today. We take an interpretive and critical view of the phenomenon. We...

Chapter 2

Understanding Agile Software, Extreme Programming, and Agile Modeling (pages 33-53)

John Erickson, Kalle Lyytinen, Keng Siau

Failure rates for systems development projects are estimated to approach 50% (Hirsch, 2002). In such an environment, a growing number of developers propose the use of so-called agile methodologies as one means of improving the...

Chapter 3

Adaptation of an Agile Information System Development Method (pages 54-88)

Mehmet N. Aydin, Frank Harmsen, Jos van Hillegersberg, Robert A. Stegwee

Little specific research has been conducted to date on the adaptation of agile information systems development (ISD) methods. This chapter presents the work practice in dealing with the adaptation of such a method in the ISD...

Chapter 4

Matching Models of Different Abstraction Levels: A Refinement Equivalence Approach (pages 89-122)

Pnina Soffer, Iris Reinhartz-Berger, Arnon Sturm

This chapter deals with the reuse of models, which assists in constructing new models on the basis of existing knowledge. Some of the activities that support model reuse, such as model construction, retrieval, and validation, may...

Chapter 5

On the Use of Object-Role Modeling for Modeling Active Domains (pages 123-145)

Patrick van Bommel, Stijn Hoppenbrouwers, Erik Proper, Theo van der Weide

This chapter is about how the object-role modeling (ORM) language and approach can be used for the integration, at a deep and formal level, of various domain modeling representations and viewpoints, with a focus on the modeling of...

Chapter 6

Method Chunks to Federate Development Processes (pages 146-184)

Isabelle Mirbel

Method engineering aims at providing effective solutions to build, improve, and support the evolution of development methodologies. Contributions in the field of situational method engineering aim at providing techniques and tools...

Chapter 7

Modeling and Analyzing Perspectives to Support Knowledge Management (pages 185-205)

Jian Cai

This chapter introduces a generic modeling approach that explicitly represents the perspectives of stakeholders and their evolution traversing a collaborative process. This approach provides a mechanism to analytically identify the...

Chapter 8

Modality of Business Rules (pages 206-226)

Terry Halpin

A business domain is typically subject to various business rules. In practice, these rules may be of different modalities (e.g., alethic and deontic). Alethic rules impose necessities, which cannot, even in principle, be violated by...

Chapter 9

Lost in Business Process Model Translations: How a Structured Approach Helps to Identify Conceptual Mismatch (pages 227-259)

Jan Recker, Jan Mendling

Often, different process models are employed in different phases of the BPM life cycle, each providing a different approach for capturing business processes. Efforts have been undertaken to overcome the disintegration of process...

Chapter 10

Theories and Models: A Brief Look at Organizational Memory Management (pages 260-274)

Sree Nilakanta, L. L. Miller, Dan Zhu

This chapter is about conceptualizing the applicability of grid related technologies for supporting intelligence in decision-making. It aims to discuss how the open grid service architecture—data, access integration (OGSA-DAI) can...
