Incorporating Use History in Information System Remodularization
针对现有系统再模块化方法忽视用户的问题,提出一种基于使用历史和设计结构矩阵的用户中心方法(UCSRA-DSM),通过分析中国大型造船企业的信息系统验证其能优化系统结构并改善用户体验。
Current IS system remodularization approaches have mainly focused on source codes but insufficiently considered users. To mitigate this problem, we integrate the concept of use history and design structure matrix to develop a user-centered system remodularization approach (UCSRA-DSM) that can optimize system structure and improve user experience. In this article, we demonstrate the proposed UCSRA-DSM by empirically analyzing an enterprise information system of a large shipbuilding manufacturer in China. Different alternative DSMs are employed to evaluate our UCSRA-DSM, and a summative evaluation indicates the effectiveness of the UCSRA-DSM in improving user experience. This research has important implications for system remodularization and provides guidance for IS management.
