Biography

Swanson received his BS in Industrial and Systems Engineering in 1962 from San Jose State University, his MBA in 1964 from the University of Michigan and his PhD in Business Administration in 1971 from University of California, Berkeley. [1]

Swanson had started his career at IBM, where he worked in the system development of applications. He returned to the academia in 1974 to the University of California, Los Angeles, where he became Professor of Information Systems at the UCLA Anderson School of Management, where he directed the Information Systems Research Program. He has held visiting positions in England, Belgium and Germany. [1]

Swanson was the founding Editor-in-Chief of the Information Systems Research from 1987 to 1992. In 1980 he also co-founded the International Conference on Information Systems (ICIS). In 2009 he was awarded the LEO award for exceptional lifetime achievement by the Association for Information Systems.

Swanson research interests are in the fields of Information Systems and Technology and Enterprise Systems, particularly Business Innovations and organizing vision; a term developed by Swanson and Neil Ramiller. His research is focused on "the life cycles of systems in organizations, addressing issues of innovation, implementation, utilization, and maintenance." [1]

Software evolution is the continual development of a piece of software after its initial release to address changing stakeholder and/or market requirements. Software evolution is important because organizations invest large amounts of money in their software and are completely dependent on this software. Software evolution helps software adapt to changing businesses requirements, fix defects, and integrate with other changing systems in a software system environment.
