Seminar Title: Industry Practitioner as Application Developer for decision
support

Speaker: Dr. Shah Jahan Miah, School of ICT and Griffith Business School,
Griffith University

When: 10:30 - 11:30am Friday 31 July

Where: Room 103, Colin Clark building (#39), UQ St Lucia campus, Brisbane

ABSTRACT
This research introduces a new practitioner centred and tailorable
service view for developing decision support applications. The solution
involves two design phases for primary and secondary design activities. Primary
design is a flexible solution architecture with inbuilt configurable, reusable
and shareable design components. A secondary application design can be seen as
a secondary activity for tailoring or creating applications by the industry
practitioners in their problem context. Practitioners are considered as
professional users such as doctors, teachers, managers, operators, and
scientists.

This design view reinforces a shift from the traditional IS development
process to a new provision where practitioners can actively participate for a
secondary application design. The solution's integrity is assured by the
architecture's control in the primary design. However, the achievable
boundaries of the architecture and the interplaying roles of users for the
secondary design are still emergent and increasingly of interest to
researchers. This study outlines a process in which practitioner can act as
developer actively for their application creation in the specific industry
context.
