Final Call for Papers HICSS53: Minitrack on Advances in Design
Science Research
This minitrack provides a venue for design science researchers
(DSR) to share their work and interact with likeminded scholars.
DSR is a prominent form of engaged scholarship, which combines
inquiry with a potential for action and intervention. DSR may be
viewed as having three related subfields, from which we welcome
submissions:
• Science of design, which focuses on creating ‘new-to-the-world’
artifacts. We try to provide an outlet for researchers doing novel
artifact driven research in information systems, but also in other
fields such as industrial engineering or service design.
• Design theory studies, which focus on the development of
theories about creating new or improved systems based on kernel or
grand theories.
• Design Research, which focuses on the study of how designers
actually conduct design activities, e.g., science of design
research. Papers in this subfield could potentially come not only
from IS, but also from architecture and design studies.
This minitrack also welcomes submissions from the entire range of
alternatives that deal with the question of integrating inquiry
with the potential of creating and shaping alternative futures.
Such work extends the boundaries of human and organizational
capabilities by theorizing and/or creating new and innovative
artifacts. The building and application of these designed
artifacts produces knowledge and understanding of a problem domain
and its solutions, which is then potentially transferable to other
domains. In design science, the engagement is primarily focused on
the design and evaluation of an artifact; learning through
building with the aim to generate theoretical insights. This is
often an iterative research process and sometimes capitalizes on
learning via both researcher and subject expertise within the
context of the participants’ social system. It can be a clinical
method that puts IS researchers in an active supporting role for
advanced practice. To this end we also seek implementable and
grounded action frames for engaging in such generalizable
inquiries.
Accordingly, the scope of this mini track includes research
contributions that arise from all three subfields of DSR described
above. This includes engaged approaches, studies of the practical
use of DSR approaches, the use of such approaches to expand
theory, and conceptual foundations that significantly and cogently
expand our understanding of the epistemology and methodology of
such approaches and their philosophical underpinnings. These
include:
• Developing design artifacts and design theories
• Evaluating and testing design artifacts and design theories
• Different approaches to the design of artifacts and design
theorizing
• Design as a creative act in development for systems etc.
• Advancing theory and practice in designing for systems etc.
• Design experiences in organizational systems and technology etc.
• Concrete design projects and their outcomes
