The close relationship between the concepts of information systems and information technology creates issues for researchers. Usefully distinguishing between the concepts is problematic. We investigate the use of the systems concept in practice, finding a pragmatic distinction between an information system (IS) and an information technology system (IT

Information and Information Systems
Information Processing & Management, 1993The purpose of an information system is to collect, store, process and distribute information. The concept of information is itself not well understood. It is in some sense a relative concept, rather than an absolute one. That is, a data object is assumed to contain information if the receiver of the data interprets it in such a way that the received ...

Journal of Information Technology, 1990
This paper discusses some current issues and methods related to the investigation and successful prosecution of crimes committed with or against computerized information systems. The paper maintains that a new extension to the forensic sciences is a major requirement in the fight against computer misuse and that this new branch of forensic science be ...

Journal of Information Technology, 1990
This paper describes a category of information systems called ‘Soft information systems’. Basically these lie between conventional information systems in which data are well defined, and management support, and decision support systems. A soft system is a system which operates on soft data. Such data cover categories of information such as conjectures,

An information system for developing information systems
Proceedings of the May 16-19, 1983, national computer conference on - AFIPS '83, 1983This paper considers a paradigm for the development of software through the use of a complete, integrated-design database. A prototype information system for the implementation of information management systems is then described. This tool manages the requirement definitions, the process and data flow, and all design and operational documentation ...

System as information—information as system
World Futures, 1997It is tried to show that pragmatic information as a generalised concept of information plays a role as an interacting meaningful entity between systems. Systems are sources of information and information is able to build up systems. Therefore system and information seem to be two sides of the same coin.

Information systems evaluation and the information systems development process
Journal of Enterprise Information Management, 2004In this paper, we consider the synergy between two areas of information system (IS) literature: that concerned with the evaluation of IS and that concerned with explaining the phenomenon of IS failure. On the basis of an analysis of both areas, a model is presented which attempts to integrate IS evaluation into the life cycle of IS development.
