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 (ERIC) 2011.
