Paper Abstract:
|
Design science research (DSR) for information systems (IS) is aimed at providing useful artifacts, e.g. models, methods
or instantiations, which are capable to solve relevant IS problems. Construction processes have been proposed for DSR in
analogy to the engineering discipline. Although there are several articles that explicate the different phases of such construction
processes, contributions are missing that propose patterns or principles which allow to guide the constructor
during the different phases of the construction process. Vaishnavi and Kuechler (2007) seem to be the first addressing
this issue by proposing DSR patterns. Although their contribution is a substantial one, it does not include comparable
pattern approaches from the engineering discipline for the foundation of the proposed patterns. Due to the fact that DSR
has its roots in engineering, it seems to be worthwhile to analyze so called problem solving patterns from the engineering
discipline and compare them to the DSR patterns. The comparison shows that one third of their patterns can be backed by
existing engineering approaches a fact which increases the validity of these patterns. |
