This two-volume book is the published proceedings of the 16th International
Conference on Information Systems Development (ISD2007) that was hosted by
the Cairnes Graduate School of Business & Public Policy at National University
of Ireland, Galway, from 29–31 August 2007. The theme of the conference was
“Challenges in Practice, Theory and Education.” The theme is not a new one – we
chose to reproduce that used in Lithuania in 2004 because it encapsulates our
ideals for the profession we are in: Teaching ISD practice and theory is what we
all must aspire to achieve
