[AISWorld] CFP: PACIS Track, "Design Science in IS Research, " March 7, 2023

[Mohammad Jabbari]

Design science is a diverse research area that extends the boundaries and
capabilities of individuals and organizations by designing, building, and
evaluating new constructs, models, algorithms, methods, and systems to
solve practical problems. It includes computational design science,
optimization design science, representation design science, and economics
design science, among others (Rai, 2017). While the different streams of
design science paradigms have their different focal topics and writing
styles, they together make significant contributions to the world and
change the practice.

In particular, we witnessed the emergence (advance) of several technologies
in recent years, such as artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality
(AR)/metaverse, blockchain/nft/distributed computing, cloud/edge computing,
Internet of Things (IoTs), and cyber-physical system (CPS), which has
afforded new possibilities as well as new concerns (e.g., fairness,
security, and privacy) for design science in various application domains.
This calls for more grounded design science research that leads and directs
the design, implementation, and evolution of contemporary IT artifacts,
which would solve problems and improve the environment in which they are
instantiated.

We thereby welcome a diversity of submissions that can produce novel
theoretical knowledge, practical insights, and methodological basis on
novel design science topics. The track seeks to synthesize broader
understandings in the diversity of all types of design science studies, as
specified by Rai (2017).
