<p style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: rgb(48, 49, 51); font-size: 12px;"><font face="Helvetica">This minitrack provides a venue for design science researchers (DSR) to share their work and interact
with likeminded scholars. DSR is a prominent form of engaged scholarship, which combines inquiry with a potential for action and intervention. DSR is focused on the design and evaluation of an artifact; learning through building with the aim to generate theoretical
insights. DSR may be viewed as having three related subfields, from which we welcome submissions:<o:p></o:p></font></span></p>
<ul type="disc" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(48, 49, 51); list-style-position: outside;">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; color: rgb(48, 49, 51); box-sizing: border-box;">
<font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 12px;">Science of design, which focuses on creating ‘new-to-the-world’ artifacts. We try to provide an outlet for researchers doing novel artifact driven research in information systems, but also in other fields such
as industrial engineering, pedagogics, entrepreneurship, or service research.<o:p></o:p></font></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; color: rgb(48, 49, 51); box-sizing: border-box;">
<font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 12px;">Design theory studies, which focus on the development of theories and design principles concerned with creating new or improved systems based on kernel or grand theories.<o:p></o:p></font></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; color: rgb(48, 49, 51); box-sizing: border-box;">
<font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 12px;">Design Research, which focuses on the study of how designers conduct design activities, e.g., science of design research. Papers in this subfield could potentially come not only from IS, but also from architecture
and design studies.<o:p></o:p></font></li></ul>
<p style="margin: 13.5pt 0cm 0cm; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(48, 49, 51);">
<span style="color: rgb(48, 49, 51); font-size: 12px;"><font face="Helvetica">All three subfields are often (but not always) tightly engaged with design practice. Accordingly, they frequently embody participative forms of research that rest on the advice and
perspectives of multiple stakeholders in understanding a complex social problem.<o:p></o:p></font></span></p>
<p style="margin: 13.5pt 0cm 0cm; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(48, 49, 51);">
<span style="color: rgb(48, 49, 51); font-size: 12px;"><font face="Helvetica">While specific interest is placed upon DSR and design theorizing with respect to the three subfields described above, the minitrack welcomes submissions from the entire range of alternatives
that deal with the question of integrating inquiry with the potential of creating and shaping alternative futures. New tools, such as generative AI and specific tools like GitHub co-pilot allow for easier exploration and modification of alternative designs.
Such work extends the boundaries of human and organizational capabilities by theorizing and/or creating new and innovative artifacts. The building and application of these designed artifacts produces knowledge and understanding of a problem domain and its
solutions, which is then potentially transferable to other domains.<o:p></o:p></font></span></p>

<span style="color: rgb(48, 49, 51); font-size: 12px;"><font face="Helvetica">Accordingly, the scope of this minitrack includes research contributions that arise from all three subfields of DSR described above. This includes engaged approaches, studies of
the practical use of DSR approaches, the use of such approaches to expand theory, and conceptual foundations that significantly and cogently expand our understanding of the epistemology and methodology of such approaches and their philosophical underpinnings.
These include:<o:p></o:p></font></span></p>
