CALL FOR DISCUSSION ON CREATING COMP.INFORMATIONSYSTEMS
The field of INFORMATION SYSTEMS at the moment does not
have it's own forum for discussion. Not only is it
missing on USENET, also on other networks an area for
discussions and exchange on topics like design of
information systems, decision support systems,
organizational impact of information systems,
support tools for designing information systems, research
methods in information systems, information planning,
etc. is lacking.
After consulting Henk Sol, Ralph Sprague and Gordon Davis
and several other researchers in the field of IS we have
come to the conclusion that we should try to create such a
discussion area. In our view this discussion area should
be COMP.INFORMATIONSYSTEMS. It should be part of the COMP
tree, because we are talking about computerized information
systems.
In our view the area should be MODERATED, in order to be
able to filter out the postings that have nothing to do
with information systems. Moderation means just filtering,
appropriate postings will appear unchanged. Moderation
will be performed by Alexander Verbraeck and
Folkert W. Wierda at Delft University of Technology,
Department of Information Systems.
This discussion on creating COMP.INFORMATIONSYSTEMS
starts at July 7, and will continue till August 6. At
that same day a call for votes will be posted, that
continues till September 6. Please remember that all
contributions to this discussion should be posted to
news.groups.
For any further questions and suggestions about the
proposed newsgroup it is also possible to contact us
by E-mail.
