Abstract

Web-based information systems (WIS) are new generation information systems and have recently received considerable attention in systems development. As yet little research has been reported on the general model for analysis and design of WIS. This paper describes an object-oriented model for WIS. Five components that support WIS are discussed. They are: the Web site, business processes, knowledge, the information infrastructure, and software agents. These elements are harmonised into a unified object-oriented paradigm. The proposed WIS model extends traditional information systems analysis into the context of WIS. It could be useful for the development of WIS by organisations in pursuing electronic commerce.
