The model of a parallel life cycle of configurable information systems based on a methodological framework

Abstract

Existing approaches to organizing the life cycle of information systems are associated with problems of mutual understanding between the customer and the developer. In view of the implementation of communication between the participants in the development process through polysemantic or indefinite concepts, the naming of which causes an erroneous opinion about the uniform perception of their meaning, the image of the target system formulated by the customer from such concepts and the image of the created system, consisting of the concepts implemented by the developer of the same name, but different in meaning, concepts can differ significantly. The phased division of the life cycle of information systems exacerbates the situation, since at each stage introduced, new meanings of polysemantic concepts are formed. To get away from this problem, a new life cycle model is proposed, the essence of which is the parallel work of all participants in the life cycle on the same set of concepts formulated by the user or customer. Parallelism is proposed to be ensured through the coordination of the meaning of the concept, and the concept itself to be represented using the abstraction of the mechanism of action as a unity of form and content that describe the action to create it.
