Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS), Puerto Rico, August 13-15,

*Track*: Design Science Track
Minitrack: The use of DSR in Post-graduate studies and supervision in IS

The adoption of DSR as a research approach whenever artefacts are developed
within IS has seen substantial growth in recent years. This trend was also
found in post-graduate studies where students are involved in the
development of an artefact and then adopt DSR in their studies.  Several
authors such as Vijay Vaishnavi, Bill Keuchler, Al Hevner and Shirley
Gregor published on the topic of Design Science research. However, using DSR in
postgraduate studies is a relatively new way of conducting research and the
presentation of a DSR study within dissertations and theses poses unique
challenges and opportunities.

This track explores the techniques, opportunities, challenges and best
practices
adopted for both students and supervisors when adopting and using DSR
within post-graduate
studies. We invite submissions for the use of DSR in Post-graduate studies
and supervision in IS mini-track that discusses relevant topics including, but
not limited to, the following:
•           Design Science Research as a research approach in post-graduate
studies;
•           Writing up a DSR study in a thesis or dissertation;
•           Mixed-method research and DSR as research approach;
•           Case Studies and best practices for post-graduate DSR studies;
•           Evaluation of Design Science Research;
•           Science of Design and Design Theory;
•           Research philosophies and DSR;
•           The artefact within a DSR post-graduate study.
