Information Systems Group
About
In today’s digitally-enabled society, where new technologies emerge and supersede each other at an ever-increasing pace, Information Systems (IS) research has never been more relevant than now. Information Systems as an academic discipline studies how information technology can deliver value to individuals, organisations and societies at large, by enabling change and innovation. At the very core of IS research is the study of the interplay between information technology, its users (people), and the operations (business processes) through which this technology is used.
Cognisant of the complexity of today’s technology landscape and the profound implications this has on people, we take two complementary views on the information systems discipline:
- An engineering view, through which we endeavor to design, develop and evaluate novel information systems approaches, techniques and software solutions, and
- A managerial view, through which we strive to understand, assess and predict the use and impact of information systems on individuals, organisations and societies.
Our research revolves around five key research themes:
- Business analytics and decision making
- Business Process Management
- Cybersecurity management
- Digital health
- Innovations in the digital society
Within these themes, our application domains are manifold and varied, and include: banking and insurance, complex systems, education, healthcare, logistics and supply chain, manufacturing, non-profit, and government.
The group is based in the School of Computing and Information Systems at the University of Melbourne, Australia.

Digital health
As active partners in the University’s Health Precinct, we conduct research in digital health with a focus on health information systems and health informatics.
-
Innovations in the digital society
We examine a wide range of challenges faced in the early 21st Century by looking at how people find, evaluate and use information, especially in the context of emerging technologies, service innovation and information technology adoption.
