James Martin (author) - Information Engineering
1 Information Engineering (IE) is an approach to designing and developing
information systems. It has a somewhat chequered history that follows two very
distinct threads. It is said to have originated in Australia between 1976 and 1980, and appears first in the literature
in 1981 in the Savant Institute publication Information Engineering by
James Martin and Clive Finkelstein.

James Martin (author) - Information Engineering
1 Information Engineering first provided data analysis and database design techniques that could be used by database administrators (DBAs) and by systems analysts to develop
database designs and systems based upon an understanding of the
operational processing needs of organisations for the 1980s.

Information engineering
1 In software engineering, Information engineering (IE) or information
engineering methodology (IEM) is an approach to designing and
developing information systems. It can also be considered as the
generation, distribution, analysis and use of information in systems.

Information engineering - Overview
1 Examples include bioinformatics in which information engineering
tackles the high-throughput biological data for analysis and better biological understanding.

Information engineering - Overview
1 Information engineering has many purposes, including organization
planning, business re-engineering, application development, information
systems planning and systems re-engineering.

Information engineering - History
1 Information engineering has a somewhat chequered history that
follows two very distinct threads. It originated in Australia between 1976
and 1980, and appears first in the literature in a series of six InDepth
articles by the same name published by US Computerworld in May - June
1981.

Information engineering - History
1 He also co-authored with James Martin the influential Savant Institute
Report titled: "Information Engineering", published in Nov 1981.

Information engineering - History
1 Martin himself had significant stakes in at least four CASE tool vendors - InTech (Excelerator), Higher Order Software,
KnowledgeWare, originally Database Design Inc, (Information Engineering Workbench)
and James Martin Associates, originally DMW and now Headstrong (the original
designers of the Texas Instruments' Information Engineering Facility and the
principal developers of the methodology).

Information engineering - IE variants
1 There are two variants of information engineering. These are called the DP-
driven variant and the business-driven variant.

Information engineering - IE variants
1 DP-driven : The DP-driven variant of Information engineering was
designed to enable IS Departments to develop information systems that
satisfied the information needs of the 1980s - which was largely a DP-
driven development environment. Most of the CASE tools available
today support this DP-driven variant of IE.

Information engineering - IE variants
1 Business-driven: IE was extended into strategic business planning for
the business-driven variant of information engineering. This variant was designed for rapid change in the
client/server, object-oriented environment of the business-driven
1990s.

Information engineering - Software tools
1 There are several tools supporting
Information engineering

Information engineering - Software tools
1 Information engineering Facility (IEF) from Texas Instruments Software. This
was subsequently sold to Sterling Software and then to Computer
Associates. It still exists, in an evolved form within the Advantage suite. As of
2006 referred to as ALL:Fusion Gen, capable of generating J2EE and JAVA
web applications in addition to legacy client/server and mainframe platforms.

Information Engineering Facility
1 'CA Gen' is a Computer Aided Software Engineering (CASE)
application development environment marketed by CA
Technologies. Gen was previously known as 'IEF' ('Information
Engineering Facility'), 'Composer by IEF', 'Composer', 'COOL:Gen',
'Advantage:Gen' and 'AllFusion Gen'.

Information Engineering Facility
1 The toolset originally supported the information engineering
methodology developed by Clive Finkelstein, James Martin (author)|
James Martin and others in the early 1980s. Early versions supported
IBM's IBM DB2|DB2 database, IBM 3270|3270 'block mode' screens and
generated COBOL code.

Information Engineering Facility - Overview
1 It was initially produced by Texas Instruments, with input from James
Martin (author)|James Martin and his consultancy firm James Martin
Associates, and was based on the Information Engineering Methodology (IEM). The first version was launched
in 1987.

Information Engineering Facility - Overview
1 In 1997, Composer had another change of branding, Texas Instruments sold the Texas Instruments Software division, including the
Composer rights, to Sterling Software. Sterling software changed the well known name Information Engineering Facility to
COOL:Gen. COOL was an acronym for Common Object Oriented Language - despite the fact that there was little Object-oriented
programming|object orientation in the product.
