<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Location: Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Date: May 5-6, 2011<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Theme: Service-Oriented Perspectives in Design Science
Research<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>There has been a surge of interest in Design Science
Research in Information Systems in the last few years. 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 from different backgrounds—such as
information systems, computer science, software engineering, and medical informatics—are
actively engaged in generating novel solutions to interesting design problems
in Information Systems. <o:p></o:p></p>
