2. 6. Designing Information Systems : A pragmatic account

   Author : Jonas Sjöström; Pär Johan Ågerfalk; Göran Goldkuhl; Else Nygren; Richard Baskerville; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; information systems; design; pragmatism; design research; it artefact; Informatics and systems science; Informatik och systemvetenskap; Computer and systems science; Data- och systemvetenskap; Informatics; Informatik; Data- och systemvetenskap; Computer Systems Sciences;

   Abstract : Information technology (IT) plays an increasingly important role for individuals, organizations, markets, and society as a whole. IT systems are artefacts (human made objects) designed for various purposes. READ MORE

4. 7. User-Centred Systems Design : Designing Usable Interactive Systems in Practice

   Author : Bengt Göransson; Jan Gulliksen; Anders Hektor; Liam Bannon; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; user-centred systems design; usability; human-computer interaction; system development; user involvement; usability design; Information technology; Informationsteknologi;

   Abstract : Have you ever been frustrated with that IT system at work that does not behave the way you expect it to? Or had problems with using the features on your new mobile phone? When systems and appliances do not support us in what we are doing, and do not behave the way we expect them to, then usability is neglected. Poor usability may be frustrating and irritating when trying out your mobile phone, but in a critical work situation poor usability may be disastrous. READ MORE

5. 8. 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

6. 9. Understanding Scalability and Sustainability in Mobile Learning : A Systems Development Framework

   Author : Anna Wingkvist; Anita Mirijamdotter; Marcelo Milrad; Morgan Ericsson; Mikael Lind; Växjö universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; information systems; mobile learning; scalability; sustainability; systems development; Computer science; Datavetenskap; Computer and Information Sciences Computer Science; Data- och informationsvetenskap;

   Abstract : The rapid development of mobile technologies combined with access to content almost everywhere and every time allows people to experience new situations regarding learning in a wide variety of situations. Mobile learning brings the promise of learning "on the move" by allowing learners to take control over time and space, thus making learning "more natural". READ MORE

7. 10. Functional Programming for Embedded Systems

   Author : Abhiroop Sarkar; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Embedded Systems; Timing; Concurrency; Functional Programming; Virtual Machine; Language Runtime;

   Abstract : Embedded Systems application development has traditionally been carried out in low-level machine-oriented programming languages like C or Assembler that can result in unsafe, error-prone and difficult-to-maintain code. Functional programming with features such as higher-order functions, algebraic data types, polymorphism, strong static typing and automatic memory management appears to be an ideal candidate to address the issues with low-level languages plaguing embedded systems.
