Sommario/riassunto

This volume is a collection of papers on emerging concepts, significant insights, and novel approaches to Information Systems Development (ISD). It delves into the latest trends in ISD and examines how organizational goals, structure, and the business environment--including regulations and societal trends--can impact the creation and implementation of information systems. The book draws on invited papers selected from the proceedings of the 31st International Conference on Information Systems Development hosted by Instituto Superior Técnico, Lisbon, Portugal, on August 30-September 1, 2023 (ISD2023). The general theme of ISD2023 was "Information Systems Development, Organizational Aspects, and Societal Trends". This volume is specifically designed for researchers who are interested in exploring the methodological and operational perspectives of Information Systems Development, as well as the impact of organizational aspects and societal trends. The primary target audience for this volume is those who want to deepen their understanding of ISD from both theoretical and practical perspectives.
