This book provides guidelines for practicing design science in the fields of information systems and software engineering research. A design process usually iterates over two activities: first designing an artifact that improves something for stakeholders and subsequently empirically investigating the performance of that artifact in its context. This “validation in context” is a key feature of the book - since an artifact is designed for a context, it should also be validated in this context.
The book is divided into five parts. Part I discusses the fundamental nature of design science and its artifacts, as well as related design research questions and goals. Part II deals with the design cycle, i.e. the creation, design and validation of artifacts based on requirements and stakeholder goals. To elaborate this further, Part III presents the role of conceptual frameworks and theories in design science. Part IV continues with the empirical cycle to investigate artifacts in context, and presents the different elements of research problem analysis, research setup and data analysis. Finally, Part V deals with the practical application of the empirical cycle by presenting in detail various research methods, including observational case studies, case-based and sample-based experiments and technical action research. These main sections are complemented by two generic checklists, one for the design cycle and one for the empirical cycle.
The book is written for students as well as academic and industrial researchers in software engineering or information systems. It provides guidelines on how to effectively structure research goals, how to analyze research problems concerning design goals and knowledge questions, how to validate artifact designs and how to empirically investigate artifacts in context – and finally how to present the results of the design cycle as a whole.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本書提供了在資訊系統和軟體工程研究領域實踐設計科學的指導方針。設計過程通常會迭代進行兩個活動：首先設計一個能改善利益相關者某些事物的工件，然後在其上下文中實證調查該工件的性能。這種「在上下文中的驗證」是本書的一個關鍵特徵——因為工件是為特定上下文設計的，因此也應在該上下文中進行驗證。
本書分為五個部分。第一部分討論設計科學及其工件的基本性質，以及相關的設計研究問題和目標。第二部分處理設計循環，即根據需求和利益相關者目標創建、設計和驗證工件。為了進一步闡述，第三部分介紹了概念框架和理論在設計科學中的角色。第四部分繼續探討實證循環，以在上下文中調查工件，並介紹研究問題分析、研究設置和數據分析的不同元素。最後，第五部分通過詳細介紹各種研究方法，包括觀察性案例研究、基於案例和樣本的實驗以及技術行動研究，來處理實證循環的實際應用。這些主要部分還附有兩個通用檢查清單，一個針對設計循環，另一個針對實證循環。
本書是為軟體工程或資訊系統的學生以及學術和工業研究人員撰寫的。它提供了如何有效構建研究目標的指導，如何分析與設計目標和知識問題相關的研究問題，如何驗證工件設計，以及如何在上下文中實證調查工件——最後，還有如何整體呈現設計循環的結果。
