The development of information systems is a process of making social and technological design choices, with the purpose of serving human interests. This means that development of information systems naturally involve an underlying philosophy with corresponding value judgments and neither technology, such as information systems, nor the development process can be seen as value neutral. Instead, they embody the interests through goals and values of the people taking part in the development process. Values also have a role in the evaluation of information systems as the evaluation of the effects of information systems is influenced by the evaluator's goals and values. As goals and values guide peoples' actions, they become important in the studies of construction and adaptation of methods and tools, as well as methods and tools in use. Therefore our research aims at developing useful knowledge for practice and research in the following areas:

  • Systems development
  • Method engineering
  • Requirements engineering
  • End user development
  • Information systems security
  • Information systems evaluation
