As software systems have become increasingly complex and sophisticated, the process of defining requirements for software development has become increasingly demanding and challenging. Still, requirements elicitation is a necessity in any software development project that aims to create solution that will satisfy human and technical needs. There is no unique approach to requirements engineering, and...
Technical Debt (TD) is a metaphor to refer to events that bring quality loss in the code. A large volume of Technical Debt in an application may bring losses for the organisation that keeps it. For those organisations that outsource software development, monitoring TD in the influx of development packages may be an efficient strategy to ensure the quality of the product acquired. This works bring...

Theoretically, open source software (OSS) seems perfect for public information systems development due to the public sectors' often scarce budget. Especially interesting are information systems (IS) with a large number of users such as enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems where the license fees for proprietary products are often substantial. Until now however, there are few reports of public...
This work presents a case of an innovative Brazilian experience of use of free software in public administration as an emergent ecosystem, and the attempt to establish a quality framework for that. At the beginning of the century, Brazilian policy makers were concerned with the limitations of the Free Software Model of Production (FSMP) to provide software to public administration. Issues such as...
Effective planning, response, and recovery (PRR) involving terrorist attacks or natural disasters come with a vast array of information needs. Much of the required information originates from disparate sources in widely differing formats. However, one common attribute the information often possesses is physical location.

This work proposes a process of social network analysis of discussions and presents a preliminary...
Resource management information System is based on system theory, information theory and control theory, facing three major scientific issues that called population, resources and environment. It has received a wide range of applications, such as the scientific management of the resource data to support various types of resources and scientific research activities to meet national or regional comprehensive...
This paper explores and discusses the Maldivian draft cyber law, thereby suggesting improvements to give room for a new cyber law that enables efficient and effective digital forensics. Then the paper suggests a digital forensics framework to enforce optimized cyber law.
As the common problem facing the world, drug safety has been one of the major responsibilities of the governments. Firstly, this article expatiates the necessity and feasibility of remote drug-monitoring, and analyzes the complexity of monitoring work by taking Suzhou as the example. On this basis, a new remote drug-monitoring system adapting to the local environment of Suzhou combined with GSP regulation...
Historically in public health surveillance systems have been designed and operated as registries targeting specific health issues. These systems included data from specifically targeted segments of the population, with data elements designed to answer specific programmatic questions. The result has been a collection of silo information systems that rarely can be used to address new needs without extensive...
FLOSS generates both enthusiasm and concern. In this paper we focus on the Canadian public sector, how it could benefit from FLOSS solutions, emphasising the strong connection existing between public function and Free and Open Source models. At the same time we analyse some of the major legal concerns linked with FLOSS, to distinguish real issues from Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt (FUD).
An online-survey was conducted among Austrian Municipalities regarding the status and success factors in implementing Electronic Document and Records Management Systems (EDRMS). The results show that bigger Municipalities tend to be less dependent on their IT supplier and they were the early adopters, as more than 50 percent already have an EDRMS in operation. The survey shows a very positive feedback:...
Today, public e-services provide essential and efficient tools for municipalities to serve their citizens. However, the development can be quite complex, and in order to efficiently develop solutions, municipalities need to collaborate with many actors and stakeholders such as IT-vendors and developers, as well as government agencies. In this paper collaboration with various stakeholders in different...
In this paper, 40 important factors which inflected the practicing of evaluation information systems was found, that was an obstacle to promote the evaluation software in China today.

Taking the management...
This paper explores current research around IT-related organizational change in the public sector, and in particular the emergence of "virtual organizations" (VOs) in government. We argue that despite their centrality to broader digital government visions, the tensions and challenges attending VO development remain a theoretical and empirical weak point in digital government scholarship...
Adoption of Information Technology (IT) can make a valuable contribution to development of public sector organisation. A reasonable size of budget is allocated every year to IT projects in public sector in both developed and developing countries. However, at present, the majority of public sector IT projects fails either totally or partially. The percentage of failure is even more in developing countries...
