SAND Publications

Systems analysis and design encompasses a wide range of topics, including information systems development methods, tools and techniques, requirements elicitation and engineering, ontology engineering, conceptual modeling, database design, and others. In addition, increasingly, researchers draw the connections between systems analysis and design and information technology use, quality of information stored in systems, data analytics and AI and the quality of decisions made based on IT. All this puts SAND research at the cutting edge of technological progress and innovation.

On our website, we currently have a library of over 4,000 research articles on various topics of systems analysis and design (with a special focus on conceptual modeling). We invite you to explore SAND publications below (and of course, don’t forget to check our Events page and publish your own SAND papers in the up-coming conferences)!

To stimulate impactful SAND research, we prepared a list of research opportunity and agenda-setting papers related to SAND: https://sigsand.com/research-opportunities-in-sand/ .
