The 7th International Conference on Research and Innovation in Information Systems (ICRIIS 202) is just around the corner.
The Committee had a meeting this morning 5th September 2021, 11.00 am for progress updates.
ICRIIS 2021 proceedings will be published in IEEEXplore and will be sent for indexing by Scopus. Notification of paper acceptance will be sent on the 20th September 2021.
Thanks to all who have submitted your papers and our appreciation to all reviewers.
The new semester has started and today is Week 4 of the semester.
For now all Teaching and Learning activities are conducted online up to 31 December 2020.
To ensure meaningful and effective learning, lecturers should explore opportunities and initiatives to implement classess in an active way.
In the normal face to face lecture, having 1 – 2 hours lectures are fine, as we can control the environment, but this is different in the online learning environment.
With different levels of access to network faced by students, we have to explore tools that enable us to interact with them both asynchronously and synchronously.
For the Information Systems(IS) @ AHIBS, we have started to use for example Padlet, Mentimeter and Trello.
In today’s meeting, we have discussed about our practices in teaching and setting the time for sharing regarding the use of those tools among the IS members.
Attended this very inspiring talk this morning.

Call for Chapters
Abstract Submission Deadline: 5 March 2020
Full Chapters Due:15 June 2020
Introduction
Researchers continue to look for ways to improve the likelihood of project success, as software development projects have the tendency to be continuously over budget and behind schedule. Software development does not just involves a complex and dynamic processes, but has multiple viewpoints from various stakeholders. In addition, roles and responsibilities of people involved in software development should be well defined and understood. Previous research has shown that team skill, managerial involvement, and little variance in team experience enable more effective team processes than do software development tools and methods. With the increasing growth of needs in using software in all aspects of life and fields, this book intends to explore issues and challenges faced by software development teams.
Objective
The main objectives of this book are:
1. To identify research issues and challenges of software development teams
2. To propose solutions for improving software development teams productivity
3. To explore methods for effective management of software development teams
Target Audience
The target audience of this book will be composed of professionals, practitioners and researchers working in the field of software development. It will also provide insights to software development project leaders as a guide in identifying issues and challenges faced by software development teams to ensure improved management of projects. This book can also serve as one of recommended reference book for students studying Software Engineering, Systems Analysis and Design, User-centered Software Development.
Recommended Topics
1) Software Development Team Success Factors
2) Challenges of Agile Software Development
3) Issues in Managing Software Development Team
4) Tools and Technologies Supporting Software Development Team
5) Software Development Team Dynamics
6) Design Processes and Activities in Software Development
7) Managing Software Development Projects
8) Role of Stakeholders in Wholeness of User Requirements
9) UI/UX Issues in Software Development Projects
10) Roles and responsibilities in a software development team
11) Other topics relevant to the objectives of the proposed book
Submission Procedure
Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit on or before 5 March 2020, an Abstract of 300-500 words clearly explaining the mission and concerns of his or her proposed chapter. Abstract should be emailed to both email addresses : minshah@utm.my and masitah @utm.my.
Authors will be notified by 15 March 2020 the status of their proposals and sent chapter guidelines. Full chapters are expected to be submitted by 15 June 2020, and all interested authors must consult the guidelines for manuscript submissions at https://penerbit.utm.my/2019/02/11/edited-book/ prior to submission.
All submitted chapters will be reviewed on a double-blind review basis. Contributors may also be requested to serve as reviewers for this project. Note: There are no submission or acceptance fees for manuscripts submitted to this book publication. All manuscripts are accepted based on a double-blind peer review editorial process.

Day 1
Thank you and good job to Research Computing team and RMC Financial Team.
I was supposed to attend the very last part of the Data Analysis and Visualization using Excel conducted at Azman Hashim International Business School but, this coincides with a meeting on capturing User Requirements for the Industry and Community Engagement Information Systems (ICES – Name is yet to be finalized).
Since UTM has intensively encourage Academia-Industry and Academia-Community linkages, so many efforts have been taken to build up the linkages. With this, guess what? Growth of data scattered across various units in UTM and the need for organised data management, analysis and analytics needs are on the rise.
Capturing user requirements is not as easy as seen on Systems Analysis and Design books 😆😅. It is actually a science and also an art if doing things. It is actually complex especially when it involves various parties/units and also various data sources and systems.
Our Research Officers not only do research on the business processes involved for managing these industrial and community linkages, but also act as the systems analyst.
Along our way in developing 3 major systems for units under the Deputy Vice Chancellor (Research and Innovation) office, we learnt that it is a big challenge to translate the requirements of users. Having users with some ICT background helps a lot to speed up the requirements capture process. In addition, usage of tools such as Balsamiq for the initial interface design helps to speed up the confirmation and revision of the needed requirements.
We will kick off this project in February for Phase 1 of the ICES which we plan to complete by end of June, inshaa Allah.
