Sourcing of ICT systems and services Our group intends to continue working in the wider research area of outsourcing of ICT services by both private companies and public administrations, including universities. Our scope involves from the initial procurement decisions (i.e. selecting providers, choosing existing solutions), to the process of monitoring the deployment and operation of the ICT services (i.e. relationship with providers, controlling strategies, stakeholders rols). The inspiring approach is that followed by our previous in-depth case study of the Framework Agreements for the Standardization of ICT Services for the Government of Catalonia. |

Procurement and implementation services for integrated systems We continue to work in the analysis and development of procurement and implementation methodologies for integrated information systems. These include those based upon customer relationship management (CRM) systems, supply chain management (SCM) systems, enterprise application integration (EAI), projects and information systems integration in general, as well as enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems. Our interests along these lines also include the analysis and development of models and methods for decisional information systems such as those based on business intelligence technology. |

Information systems for emergency management and disaster response
This thesis proposal focuses on cases studies about design, implementation and/or use of information systems for emergency management and disaster response. It includes either systems designed specifically to support emergency professionals in crisis and disaster early warning and response, either systems of general purpose used by emergency professionals or other stakeholders (included volunteers, citizens or NGOs) as tools for crisis and disaster early warning and response, such as social media.
Research methodologies for these case studies will usually combine qualitative and quantitative techniques.
