This paper examines the applicability of agile practice in the Collaboratively-Developed Enterprise Resource Planning (CD-ERP) Model. This model has been proposed as a solution to develop Information Systems (ISs) for public universities in Libyan Higher Education (LHE) following the community-source paradigm and based on ERP. The study took place between 2016 and 2020. The purpose of the article is to discuss the possible impact and success of implementing agile practice in such an environment, while a hybrid approach involving agile practice and a predictive method was introduced. The risks and challenges associated with adopting the CD-ERP model are discussed using a SWOT analysis. Finally, the lessons learnt, recommendations, and directions for future work are presented. arabic 11 English 51

Nowadays, the ‘Circular Economy’ (CE) is a modern topic that benefits business, society, and the environment. So far, the application of the CE has been restricted to certain areas that do not include the field of Information System development. From this point of view, the ‘community source’ model can be considered as an area to investigate the practices of the CE in Information System development. The community source model is a new model in software development that is intermediate between two well-known models (closed and open source systems). The practices of the CE found in projects that follow the community source model is then a potential area of scientific interest. A project was launched to comprehensively analyse this phenomenon. This paper presents the results of the preliminary study to initially explore the CE practices in community source projects. During the fieldwork, community source projects in EU countries were surveyed. The preliminary study concluded that practices such as recycling and resource-sharing are those that can arguably be found in these projects. As a term, a new kind of material has emerged, ‘soft material’ along with the typical kinds of material previously identified in the CE, namely biological and technical materials. The paper also briefly discusses the strategy of circular community in dealing with e-waste management. arabic 12 English 71

The CD-ERP model describes an approach to the collaborative development (CD) of information systems based on the framework of an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. This approach is proposed to solve the problem of IS development in Libyan Higher Education (LHE). This paper presents an assessment of IS performance at three Libyan Universities. The findings from these cases are analysed and discussed on the basis of selected models. This analysis indicates that the level of both the ISs implemented in LHE and the capability for in-house system development is low. arabic 20 English 119
