This volume contains the invited paper, the reviewed research
papers, the discussants' comments on the latter, and the workshop
memoranda of the fourth IFIP WG 8. 1 International Working
Conference on "Information System Concepts", with the subtitle "An
Integrated Discipline Emerging" (ISC04). It was held in Leiden, The
Netherlands, 20-22 September 1999. The previous three ISCO
conferences were subtitled "An In-depth Analysis", "Improving the
Understanding", and "Towards a Consolidation of Views". Their
proceedings were published in 1989, 1992, and 1995, respectively.
The ISCO conferences were instigated by the former Task Group
FRISCO (an acronym for "FRamework of Information System Concepts"),
charged by the IFIP Working Group 8. 1 with the task of proposing a
conceptual framework for the information system field. Its report,
entitled "A Framework of Information System Concepts" (the "FRISCO
Report" for short), is available on the World Wide Web via the
address: http://www. wi. leidenuniv. nl/~verrynstlfrisco. html or
may be downloaded directly as a condensed Word-6 file from:
ftp://ftp. leidenuniv. nl/pub/rullfri-full. zip The FRISCO Report
forms a significant contribution to the long-lasting quest of our
community towards developing a scientific outlook on the field of
information systems. Clarifying the varied nature of many diverging
views - some of which may not easily be reconciled - the report
does propose a coherent, consistent and partially formalised
framework of concepts.
