A proposal for information systems design and management

This paper is a global presentation of solutions for IS design and management. We believe that every solution proposed to a design problem implies that the designer disposes of a design theoretical model, a language for specification, a design method and tools that help him to apply the design method. We define such a quartet (model,language, method, tools) in order to satisfy IS design and management. Furthermore the scope of the approach developed for IS design is to integrate the definition of the data structure, of the program structure and of the synchronization. This paper is more model and language oriented.
