[AISWorld] CfP: Design Science Research in Information Systems and Technologies (DESRIST) 2020 Conference

[Oliver Müller]

Design Science Research in Information Systems and Technologies (DESRIST) 2020 Conference
https://www.desrist2020.org

Host: University of Agder (UiA)
Location: Kristiansand, Norway

Date: June 9-11, 2020

Theme: Designing for Digital Transformation – Co-Creating Services with
Citizens and Industry

There has been a surge of interest in design science research (DSR) in
Information Systems in the last few years and we can say 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 from
different backgrounds – such as information systems, computer science, data
science, software engineering, energy informatics, medical informatics, and
operations research – are actively engaged in generating novel solutions to
interesting design problems. The theme of DESRIST 2020 is designing for
digital transformation and our goal is to bring not only researchers but also
practitioners from the private and public sector to the conference to discuss
and debate how to co-create services for citizens and industries.


Call for Contributions
-------------------------------------
The 15th DESRIST conference will bring together researchers and practitioners
engaged in all aspects of design science research, with a special emphasis on
the design of services for digital transformation. Apart from theoretical
contributions we are encouraging submissions on specific solutions, such as
products and prototypes. We invite contributions (research papers, demos, and
panel/debate proposals) that describe work in different areas of design
science research, including, but not limited to, the following:

- Conference Theme
- Designing for Digital Transformation
- Service Design and Design of Service Systems
- Co-Designing Public Services and Governments
- Theoretical and Methodological Contributions to Design Science Research
- Science of Design and Design Theory
- Design Processes and Principles of Design
- Modularity and Rules in Design
- Representations and Architectures for Design
- Evaluation of Design Science Research
- Emerging Methods and Tools in Design Science Research
- Design Economics
- Domain-specific Applications of Design Science Research

We invite full papers, research-in-progress papers and panels as well as
product and prototype presentations. See the submission page for details:

Publications
-------------------------------------
The DESRIST Proceedings with the full research papers, research-in-progress
papers, and prototypes papers accepted to the conference will be published in
Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS). Authors of selected papers will be
invited to submit revised and extended versions of their work for fast-tracked
submissions in journals of our discipline.


Best Paper Award
-------------------------------------
Two awards will be given out: the best paper of the conference, and  the best
student paper.
