Abstract
The analysis, design, implementation, maintenance, and enhancement of a complex information system is a long-term iterative process involving legacy systems and subsequent upgrades that need to avoid being bundled by a single hardware vendor, software vendor or system integrator. Stakeholders need a divide-and-conquer approach to help them find problem boundary, focus on the issues of concern, make rational decisions, and make reasonable requirements. Based on the concepts of IaaS, PaaS and SaaS in cloud computing, this paper presents a quintuple method for describing the structure of complex information systems, which can help all stakeholders analyze and participate in each phases of an information system life cycle.
