Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Towards an Axiomatic Approach to Information Systems Development
Our discussion of productivity pertains to the reduction in time and cost involved in all four phases of building an information system (specification, design, implementation and maintenance). We include in the term information system any computer-based system used to store, analyze and present information. This includes the spectrum of systems from operational examples such as payroll accounting to decision support systems for strategic planning.
The purpose of this paper is to present a systematic method for whittling down construction time and cost; this is to be achieved by strategically reducing the number of alternatives that a system builder must evaluate when constructing an information system.
