The Progression of Information System Development Approach And An Evaluation of System Design Methods : A View Of Software Engineering(<Special Issue> The New Methodology of Information Systems Design)

Abstract

Information system design methods have evolved with changes in the environment of system development. In this paper, we evaluated each of the information system design methods; structured methods for functional oriented approach, ER model which focuses on the data oriented approach, object oriented design for WEB applications with reference to the environment of system development. This paper also indicates emerging importance of enterprise system architecture which endows more feasibility in the whole enterprise system, as traditional application designs looks to have limited the ability for enterprise-mission-critical information systems.
