Dear Colleagues

 

Updates:

• The deadline for paper submission has been extended to February 7.

• The proceedings of the DESRIST 2011 conference will be published by Springer in Lecture Notes in Computer Science.

 

We would like to invite you to submit a paper to the DESRIST 2011 conference.

 

6th Design Science Research in Information Systems and Technologies (DESRIST) 2011 conference

http://www.desrist2011.uwm.edu

 

Location: Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA

Date: May 5-6, 2011

 

Theme: Service-Oriented Perspectives in Design Science Research

 

There has been a surge of interest in Design Science Research in Information Systems in the last few years. The goal of the design science research paradigm is to extend the boundaries of human and organizational capabilities by designing new and innovative constructs, models, methods, processes, and systems. Scholars from different backgrounds—such as information systems, computer science, software engineering, and medical informatics—are actively engaged in generating novel solutions to interesting design problems in Information Systems.

 

Call for Contributions

• Science of Design and Design Theory

• Evaluation of Design Science Research

• Service Design Processes

• Principles of Service Design

• Representations for Service Design

• Service Reusability

• Design for Service Discoverability

• Service Composition

• Innovations in Service Design

• Component Design and Assembly

• SOA Design Patterns

• Development of Service Systems

• Design of Healthcare, Manufacturing, Financial & Business Information Services
