Synopsis

It is 5 years since the publication of the seminal paper on “Design Science in Information Systems Research” by Hevner, March, Park, and Ram in MIS Quarterly and the initiation of the Information Technology and Systems department of the Communications of AIS. These events in 2004 are markers in the move of design science to the forefront of information systems research. A suf cient interval has elapsed since then to allow assessment of from where the eld has come and where it should go. Design science research and behavioral science research started as dual tracks when IS was a young eld. By the 1990s, the in ux of behavioral scientists started to dominate the number of design scientists and the eld moved in that direction. By the early 2000s, design people were having dif culty publishing in mainline IS journals and in being tenured in many universities. Yes, an annual Workshop on Information Technology and Systems (WITS) was established in 1991 in conju- tion with the International Conference on Information Systems (ICIS) and grew each year. But that was the extent of design science recognition. Fortunately, a revival is underway. By 2009, when this foreword was written, the fourth DESRIST c- ference has been held and plans are afoot for the 2010 meeting.

Présentation de l'éditeur

The study of Information Systems (I.S.) design is an essential part of the education of I.S. students and professionals. The purpose of this book is to provide a thorough reference on Design Science Research (D.S.R.), and it comes from two authors closely identified with D.S.R. - Alan Hevner and Samir Chatterjee. As founders of the Design Science Research in Information Systems and Technology (D.E.S.R.I.S.T.) annual conference, and as leading educators and researchers in the field, these authors, along with several invited contributors , are uniquely qualified to create this easy-to-read, easy-to-understand, and easy-to-apply text/reference. Suitable for graduate courses in I.S., computer science, software engineering, engineering design and other design-oriented fields, it can be used as a core text or a reference for doctoral seminars in D.S.R. . I.S. faculty and researchers will find much of value here as well. It requires no extensive background in design and can be appreciated by practitioners working in I.S. or technology design. Its 18 chapters are all individually referenced, and two appendices provide a reprint of the seminal 2004 M.I.S.Q. paper by Hevner, March, Park, and Ram, as well as a list of exemplar papers in Design Science. The book provides a thorough introduction to D.S.R., a look at D.S.R. in I.S., examinations of D.S.R. frameworks and design theory, and a look at the key principles of D.S.R. in I.S. . Other chapters look at design for software-intensive systems, people and design, the past and present of software designs, evaluation methods, focus-group use, design creativity, and a design language for knowledge management systems. Later chapters explore integrating action research with design research, design science in management disciplines, a critical realist perspective of D.S.R. in I.S., a taxonomic look at design of emerging digital services, the dissemination of D.S.R., and, finally, a l
