....and feasible solution of the above problem is that developers construct suitable methods for their problem domains and development environments. Method engineering is a discipline where methods themselves are the target of engineering, e.g. to explore engineering techniques how to construct methods[36]. According to Brinkkemper[8] Method Engineering is Engineering discipline to design, construct and adapt methods, technique and tools for the development of information systems. One of the simplest way how to construct methods is an approach based on reuse . Meaningful constituents or parts ....

....to the needs of various ISD situations and contingencies. 2. RESEARCH OBJECTIVE AND RESEARCH QUESTION The goal of the thesis is to improve the applicability and acceptability of ISD methods as a part of CASE environments. This objective is examined here as a problem of method engineering (ME, Kumar Welke 1992). To draw on an analogy with software engineering, ME seeks to develop and improve ISD methods by applying systematic and rigorous principles. To continue the analogy, like software engineering is supported by ISD methods, similarly ME is driven by (meta)methods. Thus, in order to develop ISD ....

....interest is not on how efficiently organization develops ISs, but on the viewpoint how it creates information and knowledge about the ISD process itself and about the ISD methods it applies. Thus, our research objective can be also seen as an aim to develop methodical guidelines for ME. In fact, Kumar and Welke (1992) define ME itself as a method for designing and implementing ISD methods . 2 Based on the research objective following research problem is formulated: How organizational learning and knowledge creation can be utilized in local method development and be a part of ME principles This general ....

....are situation independent, and claim to be applicable in virtually any application domain. However, due to the ever increasing complexity and diversity of information systems, IS projects do not require general purpose IS development and management methods, but specialised, dedicated approaches [Kumar 92; Swede 93; Vessey 94] These so called situational methods should take at least the situation in which they are applied, for instance the IS type, the DBMS platform, the experience of the project members, etc. into account, thus obtaining a better fit between approach to be followed and the ....

....and guidance on how to deploy one or more notations for describing a problem or solution domain. Increasingly, the role of the method engineer has become more application domain specific, with customised or situation specific methods assembled for particular organisations or projects [2] . This has been made easier with the availability of improved tool support, including emerging Computer Aided Method Engineering (CAME) tools [3] such as meta CASE tools [4, 5] 3 In theory, the activities of method engineers precede those of software (application) developers. In ....
