Alter , S (1999 . A general , yet useful theory of information systems [Electronic Version] . Communications of the AIS , 1 . Retrieved September 1 , 2008 , from ACM Digital Library

Alter proposes a new theory on information systems . The is actually the author 's answer to finding foundation concepts in the field of information systems . This theory can be used in better analyzing several other forms of information systems

The theory can help those involved in information systems in gaining more appreciation in looking for past projects and promoting future developments . This characteristic is important

in organizing conceptual and managerial complexities in information systems

The has five (5 ) chapters , each one having several subchapters Tables and graphs were used to compare , contrast , or simply show data gathered . This is useful for this research for it has comprehensive and in-depth information

Alter , S (2002 . The Work System Method for Understanding Information Systems and Information System Research . Communications of the AIS , 9 90-104 . Retrieved September , 1 , 2008 , from ACM Digital Library

The discusses the importance of an effective work system method for understanding concepts in information systems . The work system framework is highly regarded in the as a big prerequisite for information systems . The static and dynamic views were compared , and given proper definition

Alter 's can be of great importance especially to those who are involved in the working system part of information systems . However the also encompasses issues that are highly controversial in the field of IS

Having 6 chapters , the looks the mechanics of a professional working system . Diagrams show the roles of every part of the working system which makes this very useful for this research

Anaya , V Ortiz , A (2005 . How enterprise architectures can support integration . Proceedings of the first international workshop on Interoperability of heterogeneous information systems , session 2 , 25-30 Retrieved September 9 , 2008 , from ACM Digital Library

The authors were aiming at the functions of support integration in enterprise architectures , at the same time identifying problem sin interoperability processes . The was sketched on the characteristic where every problem is tackled and provided solution for therefore giving the readers a chance to look at their own interoperability problems . Solutions were drafted based on every problem

Anaya and Ortiz integrated examples on how ample knowledge on enterprise architecture can support intercommunication among the manufactured articles within in the field

The article is useful for the research because it holds sufficient information on enterprise architecture . The tables and comparisons were thorough , and information can be easily gathered from it

This article delves in the integration of information technology service management and enterprise architecture . The two field of study is compared , and the viable merging of the two was conceptualized . Above all , the promotes a further extension to accommodate...
