[AISWorld] CFP: 12th International Conference on Design Science Research Information Systems and Technology (DESRIST)

[Mädche, Alexander (IISM)]

Call for Papers DESRIST 2017 - 12th International Conference on Design Science Research in Information Systems and Technologies

Theme: Designing the Digital Transformation
Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Germany
May 30 - June 1, 2017

*** THEME ***
The rapid digital transformation of businesses and society creates new challenges and opportunities for Information Systems (IS) research with a strong focus on design.  There has been a surge of interest in design science research in IS in the last few years, and we conclude that this is now a mature field. 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 having different backgrounds such as information systems, computer science, software engineering, energy informatics, and medical informatics are actively engaged in generating novel solutions to interesting design problems in IS.  With this year's theme, we hope to focus attention on design science research on digital transformation of businesses and society.

*** PARTICIPATION ***
DESRIST 2017 will feature seven selected themes, in order to stimulate high quality submissions in important areas of IS research.

1: DSR IN BUSINESS PROCESS MANAGEMENT
2. DSR IN HUMAN COMPUTER INTERACTION
3. DSR IN DATA SCIENCE & BUSINESS ANALYTICS
4: DSR IN SERVICE SCIENCE
5: METHODOLOGICAL CONTRIBUTIONS
6: DOMAIN-SPECIFIC DSR APPLICATIONS
7: EMERGING THEMES AND NEW IDEAS

An additional PRODUCTS and PROTOTYPES track is intended to showcase implementations of innovative IT artifacts (i.e., constructs, models, methods). The track provides an opportunity to demonstrate and discuss emerging IT artifacts with researchers and practitioners.

The DESRIST DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM provides PhD students the opportunity to present and discuss their research projects in a group of peer PhD students and renowned scholars from our discipline.
