Category: Computers , Data Processing

The evolving technology known as ``computer-aided software engineering'' has allowed more and more organizations to incorporate information engineering principles into systems planning and development approaches. This valuable guide provides a framework for integrating these principles into an effective approach that can be customized to meet the requirements of individual projects. It describes the key characteristics that distinguish information engineering from other systems development approaches and introduces the four phases of the information engineering processs: systems planning, business area analysis, system design, and construction. Emphasizing the technical aspects of the process, this guide establishes the context, purpose, and special issues related to each activity. Illustrated with flow diagrams.
