ISD 2025 Track Committees

T1: Managing IS Development and Operations

More recently, ISD has been facing two major challenges: dealing with the increasing incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI) within software solutions and with the increasing cyberattacks that call for more robust security from the design phase. Both will have considerable implications for future DevOps pipelines. We expect to foster the discussion about the evolution and maintenance of ISD to address emerging trends.

Information Systems Development (ISD) is concerned with the creation of Information Systems (IS), comprising processes, software, artifacts, people, and technologies. More than just dealing with typical technical software development activities, ISD is eminently socio-technical.

T2: Model Driven or Model Based IS Development

It appears that “digital” is all around us, both in our personal and work lives. The growing popularity of approaches like model-driven development and low-code development, which involve code generation and model interpretation or generation by AI, has made modeling more relevant than ever in information systems development.

Professionals have sometimes been reluctant to create models as part of their work but that attitude is slowly changing. In agile information systems development, the traditional reluctance to use software models has been replaced by a more practical approach, recognizing the value that models derived from user stories and other requirements artifacts can provide in ensuring the timely delivery of high-quality systems. Data scientists are also increasingly using domain models to make sense of the data in their pipelines, which are used to build, train, evaluate, and deploy machine learning models. Artificial intelligence can interact with conceptual models for a diversity of use cases, e.g. to streamline design decisions between engineers and AI agents. Overall, there is a renewed appreciation for the role of information system models, including enterprise or domain models, requirements models, and software models, leading to the question of how these modeling approaches can be improved or innovated to better support new approaches to information systems development.

T3: Lean and Agile Software Development

The objective of LASD is to enhance the state-of-the-art in lean and agile software development and disseminate best practices, accompanied by stories of both successful and challenging transitions and adaptations to the evolving work environment and advancements in technology.

Since its inception in 2017 as part of the FedCSIS Conference Series, LASD has grown into a prominent research forum for the Agile community. During the pandemic, LASD operated as a standalone online conference, and in 2023, it became an official track within ACM SAC. In 2024, LASD expanded its international reach by being held twice — at SAC and later at ISD — further establishing itself as a bridge between the Software Engineering and Information Systems communities.

Agile and lean software development are industry standards, but transitioning to an Agile mindset remains challenging. Projects often require tailoring Agile methods to fit specific contexts, but this process is complex due to the interdependent nature of practices in frameworks like Scrum. The pandemic-driven shift to remote and hybrid work has added new challenges, forcing co-located teams to adapt to their communication and collaboration methods. Organizations must now innovate beyond traditional Agile practices, which lack explicit remote work guidelines, to maintain team effectiveness in virtual environments. Furthermore, the ongoing return-to-office debates and the stabilization of hybrid work models have created new research opportunities around optimizing Agile ceremonies and collaboration patterns for permanently distributed workforce configurations.

Scaling Agile to large, distributed, and multi-team projects continue to be a pressing topic. While frameworks like SAFe, LeSS, and Nexus have emerged to address the challenges of scaling, their adoption is often fraught with difficulties. Organizations frequently report issues such as framework misalignment with company culture, disruptions to management structures, and the inability to fully implement all elements of predefined frameworks. These challenges underscore the need for both practical guidance and theoretical research to support large-scale Agile transformations.

In parallel, the rapid evolution of technology is reshaping the landscape of software development. Generative AI coding tools, powered by Large Language Models (LLMs) and emerging Agentic AI workflows, are transforming how developers approach coding, testing, debugging, refactoring, and documentation. Beyond programming tasks, fine-tuned LLMs and AI Assistants have shown promise in supporting requirements discovery and specification as well as in user research activities. These advancements open exciting new research directions, prompting questions about how generative AI can be effectively integrated into Agile workflows, how it alters the skills required for junior developers, and how to ensure ethical and responsible use of AI in software development. The emergence of AI-powered autonomous coding agents and multi-agent systems presents new paradigms for human-AI collaboration within Agile teams, raising questions about pair programming with AI, the evolving role of developers as

T4:  Data Science and  AI for IS Development

One of the key issues related to Information Systems Development (ISD) is the effective transformation of large amounts of data into useful knowledge, consistent with the declared objectives and the expected, measurable outcomes. The central role in addressing this issue is played by modern information systems, providing a variety of intelligent services for that purpose.

Considering a perspective of ISD, the main concern of this track is to focus on the use of data science (DS), machine learning (ML), artificial intelligence (AI), data mining (DM), data analysis (DA) and related paradigms as an integral part of the ISD life cycle. These paradigms are to be treated as a coherent set of theories, methodologies, processes, architectures and technologies that guide the analysis, design, implementation and evolution of modern information systems. Their systematic integration within ISD enables the transformation of raw data into meaningful and useful information and knowledge embedded in system functionality, thereby improving information management, decision support and value creation in business and research organizations.

The main goal of this track is to address open questions and real potential for various applications of modern DS & ML approaches in ISD, particularly to design, develop, and deploy effective software services that support information management across different organizational information systems. Within contemporary ISD practice, many information systems are explicitly developed to deliver DS & ML–based services that enable data description, analysis, clustering, classification, evaluation, prediction, and visualization. These services encompass DS & ML approaches applied to both structured and unstructured data, including text, images, time-series, and multimedia data, as well as computer vision and natural language processing methods.

The development of information systems increasingly relies on advances in AI. DS & ML approaches can be widely applied in software engineering and ISD, supporting the analysis and evaluation of complex software, development processes, and system configurations, predictions related to software quality and project management. As a result, solutions employing DS & ML methods are becoming an integral part of modern ISD practices, contributing to more reliable, efficient, and cost-effective software development processes.
