Synopsis
Excerpt from Towards an Axiomatic Approach to Information Systems Development This paper advocates an approach (called the axiomatic method) to reduce the costs of constructing an information system. Further, we contrast the applicability of the axiomatic method to the more traditional approach of enumerating alternatives (the algorithmic method) in constructing an information system. We delineate the steps involved in building an information system, present a set of pilot axioms, and offer some derivative theorems. We then apply these axioms and theorems to each phase (specification, design, implementation and maintenance) of the information system life cycle, and confirm a number of empirical results other information system builders have observed.

Towards an Axiomatic Approach to Information Systems Development
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book challenges the prevailing idea that the construction of information systems is an algorithmic process that can be improved incrementally. Instead, the author proposes that the process is largely axiomatic in nature, and that dramatic improvements can be made by applying certain fundamental principles to the process of system design. The author provides several axioms which can be applied to each phase of a system's construction, and which can be used to evaluate the viability of potential designs. He then provides several theorems which can be used to increase productivity in each phase, and provides examples of how to apply them effectively. In the author's view, these axiomatic approaches can dramatically improve the efficiency of information system construction. If widely adopted, they could lead to major improvements in system design and implementation. Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
