Information Systems Frontiers

http://www.kluweronline.com/issn/1387-3326/current

The interdisciplinary interfaces of Information Systems (IS) are fast
emerging as defining areas of research and development in IS. These
developments are largely due to the transformation of Information Technology
(IT) towards networked worlds and its effects on global communications and
economies. While these developments are shaping the way information is used
in all forms of human enterprise, they are also setting the tone and pace of
information systems of the future. The major advances in IT such as
client/server systems, the Internet and the desktop/multimedia computing
revolution, for example, have led to numerous important vistas of research
and development with considerable practical impact and academic
significance. While the industry seeks to develop high performance IS/IT
solutions to a variety of contemporary information support needs, academia
looks to extend the reach of IS technology into new application domains.
Information Systems Frontiers (ISF) aims to provide a common forum of
dissemination of frontline industrial developments of substantial academic
value and pioneering academic research of significant practical impact.

Information Systems Frontiers (ISF) will focus on research and development
at the IS/IT interfaces in the academia and industry. The interfaces include
the base disciplines of computer science, telecommunications, operations
research, economics and cognitive sciences, for instance. Emerging areas
that ISF will concentrate on in the next few years include, but are not
limited to: enterprise modeling and integration, emerging object/web
technologies, information economics, IT integrated manufacturing, medical
informatics, digital libraries, mobile computing and electronic commerce.
