TISRA – Turku Information Systems Research Alliance

Research area

The TISRA research programme combines the university resources of Information Systems Science in Turku to a critical mass of research resources. The research programme is focused on several themes of Information Systems Science:

• Soft Computing with approximate reasoning, real options, multiple criteria optimisation and logistics optimisation (Christer Carlsson, Robert Fullér, Mario Fedrizzi, Kaj-Mikael Björk, Matteo Brunelli, Markku Heikkilä, Jozsef Mezei),
• ICT-management and -governance including governance of data and information (Tomi Dahlberg, Jukka Heikkilä, Hannu Salmela, Reima Suomi),
• Mobile value services (Pirkko Walden, Harry Bouwman, Christer Carlsson, Ville Harkke, Yong Liu, Anna Sell),
• Networked business and business models (Harry Bouwman, Jukka Heikkilä, Hannu Salmela, Pirkko Walden),
• Systems Sciences (Christer Carlsson),
• Work Informatics (Jukka Heikkilä),
• Healthcare information systems (Reima Suomi), and
• Information Systems research methodologies development (all).
