Introduction to WISER'04

Abstract

A June 2004 survey in the Communications of ACM by Glass, Ramesh and Vessey [1] concluded that Software Engineering researchers are least likely to use knowledge from another area, with only 1.9% of the SE papers using theories and models from other disciplines. Computer Science papers used other disciplines in 10.77% of the cases, whilst Information Systems papers used other disciplines in 67.9% of the cases!
