Journal Title：Information Systems Frontiers

The interdisciplinary interfaces of Information Systems (IS) are fast emerging as defining areas of research and development in IS. These developments are largely due to the transformation of Information Technology (IT) towards networked worlds and its effects on global communications and economies. While these developments are shaping the way information is used in all forms of human enterprise, they are also setting the tone and pace of information systems of the future. The major advances in IT such as client/server systems, the Internet and the desktop/multimedia computing revolution, for example, have led to numerous important vistas of research and development with considerable practical impact and academic significance. While the industry seeks to develop high performance IS/IT solutions to a variety of contemporary information support needs, academia looks to extend the reach of IS technology into new application domains. Information Systems Frontiers (ISF) aims to provide a common forum of dissemination of frontline industrial developments of substantial academic value and pioneering academic research of significant practical impact.

信息系统 (IS) 的跨学科接口正在迅速成为信息系统研究和开发的定义领域。这些发展主要是由于信息技术 (IT) 向网络世界的转变及其对全球通信和经济的影响。虽然这些发展正在塑造信息在各种形式的人类企业中的使用方式，但它们也为未来的信息系统定下了基调和步伐。例如，客户端/服务器系统、互联网和桌面/多媒体计算革命等 IT 领域的重大进步带来了许多重要的研究和开发前景，具有相当大的实际影响和学术意义。业界寻求开发高性能 IS/IT 解决方案以满足各种当代信息支持需求，而学术界则希望将 IS 技术的范围扩展到新的应用领域。信息系统前沿 (ISF) 旨在提供一个共同论坛，传播具有重大学术价值的前沿工业发展和具有重大实际影响的开创性学术研究。
