Abstract

The Integrated Framework for Conceptual Modeling (IFCMod) is created to contribute to the quality of the information system through the integration of the functional and non-functional requirements. This paper attempts to explore the outcomes of the IFCMod usage through the Mixed Method Case Studies at the Higher Education Institution and the Central Bank. The case study at the South East European University (SEEU) was the analysis and design of the improvement of the e-Schedule system, while the case study at the Central Bank of the Republic of Kosovo (CBK) was the analysis and design of the Data Collection System for Enterprise Surveys (DCSES). Based on the institutional perspective of the community participation during the semi-structure interviews, at the end of the Joint Approval Requirements (JAR) meetings, in both cases, the outcomes showed that IFCMod usage increases the quality of the information system by increasing quality in the system requirements.

Highlights

  • The conceptual modeling (CM) has a long tradition in the information system (IS) research [1]

  • The outcomes of using Integrated Framework for Conceptual Modeling (IFCMod) at the South East European University (SEEU) during the analysis and design of the improvement of the e-Schedule system were explored through Mixed Methods Case Study to gain a better understanding of IFCMod effect based on the perspectives of the community participation during the semi-structure interviews, at the end of the Joint Approval Requirements (JAR) meetings [21]

  • Considering the focus of the semi-structure interview, which was the effect of the IFCMod in the quality of the system requirements (SRs) and the information system (IS), variable about this effect was analyzed for its association with the other variables, this is shown in the Table II

Summary

Introduction

The conceptual modeling (CM) has a long tradition in the information system (IS) research [1]. The CM supports understanding and communication of the system requirements during the IS development [2], [28] It has a significant role in the success of the IS [3,4,5] because of the understandability of the requirements by all project participants. The research questions followed; was it possible to increase quality in the Information System by increasing quality in the System Requirements via IFCMod usage? Based on this research question, there were explored the outcomes of IFCMod usage during the system analysis and design stage through the following Mixed Methods Case Studies: analysis and designing of the improvement of the e-Schedule at the South East European University (SEEU), and analysis and design of the Data Collection System for Enterprise Surveys (DCSES) at the Central Bank of the Republic of Kosovo (CBK).
