Background
==========
Design Science creates and evaluates IT artifacts intended to solve 
identified organizational problems. Such artifacts are represented in a 
structured form that may vary from software, formal logic, and rigorous 
mathematics to informal natural language descriptions. Design Science 
Research (DSR) has become an accepted approach for research in the 
Information Systems discipline with a dramatic growth in recent, related 
literature. In particular, DSR holds promise as a paradigm that can 
establish the relevance of academic information systems research for IS 
practice. The rich phenomena that emerge from the interaction of people, 
organizations, and technology needs to be qualitatively assessed to 
yield an understanding of the phenomena adequate for theory development 
or problem solving.

We invite contributions that describe research results and address DSR 
issues related to IT management and information systems.  In-line with 
the aim of this annual symposium we especially encourage contributions 
that highlight the challenges and benefits of collaboration between 
academia and practice.

Contributions from industry, academia and collaborative research are 
welcome. We also encourage postgraduate researchers to submit their work.

Topics of Interest
==================
include but are not limited to:
• What makes projects different when using a design science approach?
• What are typical design science projects and results?
• What are the challenges and principles in a design science project?
• How can design science projects be evaluated?
• What are the advantages and limitations of following a design science 
approach?
• How can practitioners’ benefit from and participate in a design 
science approach?
• What is the demand for design science projects?


Symposium Venue
===============
The symposium will be held at Intel Technology Campus, Intel Ireland, 
Leixlip, on 13th of October 2011. The Symposium will be held in 
conjunction with the Intel European Research and Innovation Conference
