This monograph details the proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Information Systems Development. ISD is progressing rapidly, continually creating new challenges for the professionals involved. New concepts, approaches and techniques of systems development emerge constantly in this field. Progress in ISD comes from research as well as from practice. The aim of the Conference was to provide an international forum for the exchange of ideas and experiences between academia and industry, and to stimulate the exploration of new solutions.
