Abstract

A lot of interest has been focused on analysis and design models during information system (IS) design. But fundamentally, information systems are tools of "problem solving" where the term "problem solving" can take on different connotations. In this paper, we introduce seven different connotations of problem solving that describe IS functionality. Such a knowledge can help the system designer in transitioning between the analysis and design phases.
