Description

Design contributions that lead to the development of novel system artifacts have always been at the core of Information Systems Research. Two current and relevant streams of research in this vein address how novel and useful technological systems can be designed and how information systems can assist organizations in designing better organizational systems with improved business processes and workflows. Accordingly, this track welcomes submissions that focus on Information System design science research contributions and Business Process Management research contributions.

Topics of Interests

Topics of interest to the track include, but are not limited to:

• The design of novel and useful artifacts:
  This includes, but is not limited to, exemplars of novel organizational artifacts that leverage significant technological advancements and research that engages researchers and/or practitioners across disciplinary boundaries to produce applicable artifacts.
• The improvement of information systems and business processes:
  This includes, but is not limited to, the development of novel technological artifacts to address significant organizational research problems, the improvement of systems and processes through the creation of artifacts, methodological essays on business process management research, the creation of business process management theories and methods, and empirical studies of process improvement.
• The processes of design and design science research:
  This includes, but is not limited to, novel perspectives on conducting, critiquing and evaluating design science research, research that develops design theories, critical essays on design science, new models and theories for evaluating design science artifacts.
• Rigor and relevance in IS design and business process management research:
  This includes, but is not limited to, criticisms of and proposals for the conduct of engaged scholarship in IS design and business process management research, the incorporation of moral, ethical, and normative standards, as well as the measurement and evaluation of rigor and relevance in such research.
