[AISWorld] Design Science Research Award deadline Approaching

[Goes, Paulo B - (pgoes)]

Announcing the INFORMS Information Systems Society Design Science Research Award
http://www.mis.eller.arizona.edu/events/informs2011/index.asp

The purpose of the INFORMS ISS Design Science award is to promote and recognize research efforts centered on the design and realization of innovative information technology (IT) artifacts. The award recognizes research efforts that use the research approach of building and evaluating working IT systems or creating IT artifacts, as a vehicle for generating design science methods, principles, practice guidelines, insights, and lessons learned.

The intent of the award is to encourage the creation and articulation of IT design science knowledge by university research communities that will be useful for both research and practice. Distinct from the current set of INFORMS ISS awards which are focused principally on the quality of published papers in well-known journals in the IS academic community, this ISS Design Science award is principally focused on the quality, novelty and significance of the IT artifact created and validated. In this sense, the award is not solely based on the publication. The submission must be based on an IT artifact that is novel and innovative with respect to previous work in the field and that demonstrates utility in solving important problem in the development, management, and use of information technology.

The award is open to university or graduate professional program faculty and students across any discipline, department or school within a university that is engaged in designing, building and evaluating IT artifacts for research and experimental purposes.

The award amount is US$1,000.

Deadline for submission: November 20, 2011

The award will be publicly presented in December at the Workshop on Information Technology & Systems (WITS), held in conjunction with the International Conference on Information Systems (ICIS).
A write up on the annual award winner will appear in the INFORMS ISS Newsletter and perhaps a brief mention in OR/MS Today.
