  4. 2. Information Systems Actability : Understanding Information Technology as a Tool for Business Action and Communication

    Author : Pär J. Ågerfalk; Göran Goldkuhl; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; information systems; information systems actability; Internet-based information systems; language action perspective; Information technology; Informationsteknologi;

    Abstract : This dissertation is devoted to a perspective from which IT-based information systems are conceived as information technological artefacts intended for business action and communication. The perspective has been made concrete through the concept of information systems actability, which is the main concept under scrutiny. READ MORE

  5. 3. Perceive those things which cannot be seen : A cognitive systems engineering perspective on requirements management

    Author : Åsa Hedenskog; Rune Gustavsson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Software tools; Usability requirements; Cognitive systems engineering; Systems engineering; Systemteknik;

    Abstract : Non-functional requirements contribute to the overall quality of software, and should therefore be a part of any development effort. However, in practice they are often considered to be too difficult to handle. The purpose of this thesis is to gain understanding of where the nature and origin of these difficulties may lie.

  6. 4. Hierarchical Concurrent Systems from a Model-Oriented perspective

    Author : Daniel Einarson; Data Vetenskap; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; control; systems; numerical analysis; Computer science; Distributed Systems; Hierarchical Systems; Object-Orientation; Model-Orientation; Datalogi; numerisk analys; system; kontroll; Systems engineering; computer technology; Data- och systemvetenskap;

    Abstract : Real world systems are normally considered as hierarchically organized, for example, we see those as hierarchies of systems including subsystems. Examples on this can be seen in organizations where people act in environments and carry within themselves their own internal subsystem of thinking processes. READ MORE

  7. 5. Systems Modeling Approaches to Physical Resource Management : An Industrial Ecology Perspective

    Author : Rajib Sinha; Björn Frostell; Maria Malmström; Miguel Brandao; Mujibur Rahman; KTH; []

    Abstract : Many of the present problems that we are facing arise as unanticipated side-effects of our own actions. Moreover, the solutions implemented to solve important problems often create new problems. To avoid unintended consequences, understanding complex systems is essential in devising policy instruments and in improving environmental management. READ MORE
