[AISWorld] PhD course at Aalborg University: Information Systems Development as Engaged Research

[Peter Axel Nielsen]

The Department of Computing Science at Aalborg University is pleased to
announce a PhD course in Information Systems Development as Engaged
Research.

The course will focus on some different research modes available for
conducting engaged systems development as research.  ‘Engaged’, in this
context, signals that the software development effort is conducted
together
with outside partners - often a development company, a group of users, or
a target organisation.  There are three prevalent traditions in
Scandinavia; Participative (user-centered) Design, Action Research and
Design Research and we introduce the particular
form which is developed at Aalborg University:  Socio-Interactive Design.
·       Engaged Scholarship
·       Participative Design
·       Action Research
·       Design Science
·       Socio-interactive design
We also cover data collection and documentation, data analysis tools and
techniques and identifying and presenting contributions, which have many
features in common.

The course is targeted at students who plan to be involved with some
programming or system development work with external partners as part of
their PhD studies, or who have already done this.
