Advances in Information Systems Development - Methods, Tools and Management

This volume features a collection of papers on emerging concepts, significant insights, novel approaches and ideas in information systems development. It examines advances in information systems development in general, and their impact on the development of new methods, tools and management.
The book draws on selected invited papers from the 26th International Conference on Information Systems Development (ISD) held in Larnaca, Cyprus, September 6 - 8, 2017. The revised and expanded papers present research that focuses on methods, tools and management in information systems development. These issues are significant as they provide the basis for organizations to identify new markets, support innovative technology deployment, and enable mobile applications to detect, sense, interpret and respond to the environment.
