“…In essence there are several issues related to over empathizing technology over social aspects, i.e. considering the whole Information System (IS), encompassing technology as well as human activities in relation to technology [6]. In trying to treat both social and technical aspects of interoperability different approaches have been taken, with Enterprise Architectures (EA) being increasingly popular [5,7].…”

Abstract. In recent years the development of eGovernment has increasingly gone from service provision to striving for an interoperable public sector, with Enterprise Architectures being an increasingly popular approach. However, a central issue is the coordination of work, due to differing perceptions among involved actors. This paper provides a deepened understanding of this by addressing the question of how differing interpretations of interoperability benefits affect the coordination in the early stages of implementing a public sector Enterprise Architecture. As a case-study, the interoperability efforts in Swedish eHealth are examined by interviews with key-actors. The theoretical framework is a maturity model with five levels of interoperability issues and benefits. The findings highlight the need to clarify decision-making roles, ambiguities concerning jurisdictions between authorities and that differing perceptions of IT-infrastructure is connected to overall goals. The paper also suggests a re-conceptualization of eGovernment maturity by moving away from sequential models.

“…They note that this distinction is already established in the general information systems (IS) literature, where there are frameworks focused on conceptual understanding of IS [4], [32] and frameworks guiding implementation [6], [22]. Likewise in the KM literature, it is possible to identify frameworks that seem to address the question of 'what is,' and to identify implementation frameworks that address the 'how to'.…”

Any e-organization, whether it is commercial or governmental, requires a knowledge management support in order to achieve optimal performance. Many of the technologies that serve the operations of such organizations can also support knowledge management to facilitate efficient knowledge sharing and reuse. Thus, eorganizations should be at the forefront in the use of knowledge management. This paper examines systems of knowledge management used in large organizations. The limitations of traditional organizational schemes are examined, including the tie to the traditional pre-digital knowledge unit, the multi-page document. An action research approach is taken towards the question of how we improve upon traditional approaches using the technology available in conjunction with approaches arising from organizational research. A new framework is described where knowledge is packaged into objects and classified by organizational performance roles and goals. A prototype implementation of the framework was developed in order to test its feasibility. Evaluation of the prototype suggests that the system could result in a more intuitive organizational framework that enables workers to obtain appropriate knowledge support in a timely manner without the need for extensive search, and also facilitates greater reuse and sharing of knowledge.

“…De Souza et al [93] promoted a semiotic approach to HCI research. For the field of information system research Bacon and Fitzgerald [94] identified a need for a systematic framework and proposed one. Ng [87] introduced a theoretical framework for understanding the relationship be-tween situated action and planned action models in the information retrieval contexts.…”

HCI as an engineering discipline: to be or not to be!?

Abstract-One of the major challenges in the emerging interdisciplinary field of human-computer interaction (HCI) is the specification of a research line that can enable the development of validated design knowledge with a predictive power for the design of interactive systems. Based on the three different elements in the design of interactive systems: (1) human being(s), (2) technical artefact(s), and (3) context of use, different academic disciplines contribute with different research paradigms to this new field: social sciences with a strong empirical and experimental approach, industrial and interaction design with a strong emphasis on artistic design, and engineering disciplines with a strong technical and formal approach. This programmatic paper presents, discusses and recommends a possible way to integrate the strengths of different research and design paradigms based on triangulation, and we argue for HCI as an engineering discipline.Index Terms-human computer interaction, design paradigm, research agenda, triangulation.
