Information security is everyone's concern. The way we live is
underwritten by information system infrastructures, most notably
the Internet. The functioning of our business organizations, the
management of our supply chains, and the operation of our
governments depend on the secure flow of information. In an
organizational environment information security is a never-ending
process of protecting information and the systems that produce
it.This volume in the "Advances in Management Information Systems"
series covers the managerial landscape of information security. It
deals with how organizations and nations organize their information
security policies and efforts. The book covers how to strategize
and implement security with a special focus on emerging
technologies. It highlights the wealth of security technologies,
and also indicates that the problem is not a lack of technology but
rather its intelligent application.
Edited by Straub (information systems, Georgia State U.), Goodman
(international affairs and computing, Georgia Institute of
Technology), and Baskerville (information systems, Robinson College
of Business), this volume of Advances in Management Information
Systems is the first of several to address issues of information
security and as such it focuses on matters of policy, strategy, and
processes necessary for the establishment of the overall security
posture of an organization and leaves discussion of supportive
technological and organizational measures for later volumes.
Chapters address information technology governance and
organizational design for security management, information system
risk assessment and documentation, strategic information security
risk management, and business continuity planning and the
protection of informational assets. They also discuss the
extra-organizational security setting for the United States and
internationally, as well as emerging research trends.
This book is intended to mark the turn of the first century of the
information age. The purpose of the book is to denote the
transition from past to current to future investigations of the
relationships and interactions among four major components:
information systems (IS), information technology (IT),
organizations, and society. These investigations share a primary
focus on the interrelationships, not on the components themselves.
The contributions to the book deal with the history of IS theory
and technology, with the directions faced by those sharing the
concerns of the field in its future research, and with attempts to
draw these two views together. Five discourses collectively answer
the key question: 'What is the status of IS, as related to
organizations and society, now that we stand at the juncture of the
new century?' These discourses deal with the fundamental concepts,
the classical and novel challenges, the conceptualization
processes, automation, and new technology. What is our story as we
turn the first century of the information age?We believe that IT is
even more critical in social interaction in organizations, that
human language barriers form fundamental roadblocks to IT
implementation, that newer forms of IS integrate horizontally
rather than vertically, and that the mix of skills and knowledge is
changing. We also find that we lack integrated approaches to risk
management, that new social costs are being unleashed on people by
the wiring of society, and we are rushing headlong into globalized
systems with our eyes closed. We reveal how the old end-user
tension between central control and innovation has reappeared in
the intranet world, how IT has been converted into a cultural
commodity, and explore how the video screen has become the central
means for discovering our relevance to our universe. We explore the
surprising ways that machines have acquired human status, not
through robotics, but rather through social construction. We
discover new norms for defining the relationships and exchanges
between human beings and computers. For example, gender defines IS
success and web design defines social relationships.Consequently,
we show how systems must now be developed interpretively, rather
than through rational--technical IS design principles used in the
last century.
This book is dedicated to the memory of Professor Alessandro
(Sandro) D'Atri, who passed away in April 2011. Professor D'Atri
started his career as a brilliant scholar interested in theoretical
computer science, databases and, more generally information
processing systems. He journeyed far in various applications, such
as human-computer interaction, human factors, ultimately arriving
at business information systems and business organisation after
more than 20 years of researc hbased on "problem solving".
Professor D'Atri pursued the development of an interdisciplinary
culture in which social sciences, systems design and human sciences
are mutually integrated. Rather than retrospection, this book is
aimed to advance in these directions and to stimulate a debate
about the potential of design research in the field of information
systems and organisation studies with an interdisciplinary
approach. Each chapter has been selected by the Editorial Board
following a double blind peer review process. The general criteria
of privileging the variety of topics and the design science
orientation and/or empirical works in which a design research
approach is adopted to solve various field problems in the
management area. In addition several chapters contribute to the
meta-discourse on design science research.
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 18th International
Conference on Design Science Research in Information Systems and
Technology, DESRIST 2023, which was held in Pretoria, South Africa,
from May 31–June 2, 2023. The 29 full papers presented in this
volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 81 submissions.
The papers are organized in the following topical sections:
Design-oriented Research for Society 5.0 (Theme Track); Design of
Systems Using Emerging Technologies; Human-Centered Artificial
Intelligence (HCAI); Healthcare Systems and Quality of Life;
Innovation and Entrepreneurship; Emerging DSR Methods and
Processes; Education and DRS; Human Safety and Cybersecurity;
Co-Desing and Collective Creativity for Addressing Grand
Challenges; and Sustainability and Responsible Design.

conference of the International Federation for Information
Processing Working Group 8.2 "Information and Organizations." The
conference took place during June 21-24, 2009 at the Universidade
do Minho in Guimaraes, Portugal. The conference entitled
"CreativeSME - The Role of IS in Leveraging the Intelligence and
Creativity of SME's" attracted high-quality submissions from across
the world. Each paper was reviewed by at least two reviewers in a
double-blind review process. In addition to the 19 papers presented
at the conference, there were five panels and four workshops, which
covered a range of issues relevant to SMEs, creativity and
information systems. We would like to show our appreciation of the
efforts of our two invited keynote speakers, Michael Dowling of the
University of Regensburg, Germany and Carlos Zorrinho, Portuguese
coordinator of the Lisbon Strategy and the Technological Plan. The

The XP conference series established in 2000 was the first
conference dedicated to agile processes in software engineering.
The idea of the conference is to offer a unique setting for
advancing the state of the art in the research and practice of
agile processes. This year's conference was the ninth consecutive
edition of this international event. The conference has grown to be
the largest conference on agile software development outside North
America. The XP conference enjoys being one of those conferences
that truly brings practitioners and academics together. About 70%
of XP participants come from industry and the number of academics
has grown steadily over the years. XP is more of an experience
rather than a regular conference. It offers several different ways
to interact and strives to create a truly collaborative environment
where new ideas and exciting findings can be presented and shared.
For example, this year's open space session, which was "a
conference within a conference," was larger than ever before. Agile
software development is a unique phenomenon from several
perspectives.
