INVITATION

With great pleasure we invite you to take part in the Tenth International Conference on Information Systems Development ISD2001. This Conference carries on the fine tradition of the first Polish-Scandinavian Seminar on Current Trends in Information Systems Development Methodologies, held in Gdansk, Poland in 1988. Through the years, this seminar evolved into an International Conference on Information Systems Development. The Conference gives participants an opportunity to express ideas on the current state of the art in information systems development, and to discuss and exchange views about new methods, tools and application.
The site for ISD2001 is Royal Holloway, University of London, United Kingdom. The College is set in a delightful campus in Egham, Surrey, situated in the green belt, near Runnymede and Windsor Great Park, with good communications to and from London. Egham is 35 minutes by train from London Waterloo and the College is approximately 1 miles from the railway station and M25. It is approximately 15 minutes by taxi from Heathrow Airport.

CONFERENCE OBJECTIVES & SCOPE 

Information Systems Development (ISD) progresses rapidly, continually creating new challenges for the professionals involved. Progress in ISD comes from research as well as from practice. New concepts and approaches emerge constantly in this field. The aim of the Conference is to establish an international forum for the exchange of ideas and experiences, and to stimulate exploration of new solutions. Past ISD conferences have produced highly regarded published volumes. The ISD 2001 Conference will again provide a meeting place for IS researchers and practitioners from all parts of the world. This year, in addition to papers, proposals for panel discussions are actively encouraged. 

PUBLICATIONS 

All papers accepted by the Programme Committee will be printed in a book that will be published by Kluwer/Plenum Press and distributed after the Conference.
