The　extensive　application　of　management　information　system　(MIS)　and　the　popularity　of　agile　software　development　methodologies　have　rendered　the　whole　software　industry　new　opportunities　where,　nonetheless,　endless　challenges　are　shadowed.　On　one　hand,　the　huge　demand　for　MIS　and　the　ability　of　fast　delivery　possessed　by　agile　software　development,　and　its　flexible　handling　of　the　variation　of　requirements,　have　fostered　an　extremely　promising　market.　On　the　other　hand,　with　the　contemporary　software　development　technology,　developers　are　repeatedly　implementing　those　generic　functionalities　spread　extensively　in　all　MIS,　including　the　creation,　retrieval,　updating,　and　deletion　of　the　data.　In　this　thesis,　a　seminal　development　pattern　for　MIS　is　explored,　namely　to　completely　define　the　generic　behaviors　and　functionalities　through　external　XML　description,　which　is　combined　with　the　most　promising　technologies　at　the　age　of　agile　software　development,　namely　the　Scala　programming　language　and　the　Lift　web　application　framework　in　establishing　a　MIS-oriented　application　framework.　It　extracts　the　generic　functionalities　of　MIS　from　specific　business　logic,　enabling　agile　software　development　methodologies　to　be　better　applied,　which　further　satisfies　the　demand　of　the　market　and　resolves　the　problems　within　it.　©　2010　IEEE.
