Towards a Configurative Publication Schema for Design Science Research
نویسندگان
چکیده
Design science research (DSR) has matured and gained acceptance as an appropriate information systems research method. Despite the increasing number of DSR publications there is still no common sense and no comprehensive guidance how to present DSR in scientific literature. Therefore, this paper investigates the potential of a configurative DSR publication schema by means of a reference model allowing the deduction of co ncrete publication schemas. These schemas provide more detailed advice depending on the particular research context, such as the intended artifact type, the evaluation method, or the knowledge contribution type. By identifying configuration parameters (through an investigation of 13 DSR meta-analysis papers) and common configurations (through a meta-analysis of 52 DSR journal publications) we lay the foundations for a configurative reference model which can be adapted to provide detailed guidance in concrete DSR publication situations for both authors and reviewers. A detailed example sketches the future artifact.

Towards A Method for Developing Reference Enterprise Architectures
In most economic sectors organizations face rapid environmental changes like regulations. Such changes can force them to adjust both their organizational and operational structure. For instance, in the energy utility sector numerous developments moved German Public Utilities (PUs) towards a liberalized market. Nowadays PUs have to stay competitive while managing a heterogeneous information tech...

In this paper we describe a query interface towards XML document collections. External schema annotation in RDF contains information used to dynamically build the interface tailored to the user’s characteristics and to the document structure, as described by its XML Schema. The interface makes the user aware of structure semantics, so supporting her/him in formulating semantically correct queri...

Schema matching is a critical step in many applications, such as data warehouse loading, Online Analytical Process (OLAP), Data mining, semantic web [2] and schema integration. This task is defined for finding the semantic correspondences between elements of two schemas. Recently, schema matching has found considerable interest in both research and practice. In this paper, we present a new impr...

The manual customization of reference information models to suite special purposes is an exhaustive task that has to be accomplished thoroughly to preserve, expatiate and extend the inherent intention. This can be facilitated by the usage of automatisms like those being provided by the configurative reference modeling approach. Thus, the reference information model has to be enriched by data de...
متن کاملTowards Stepwise, Schema-Guided Synthesis of Logic Programs
We present a general strategy for stepwise, sound and progressive synthesis of logic programs from specifications by examples and properties. We particularize this to schema-guided synthesis, and state a generic synthesis theorem. We justify some design choices for the development of a particular synthesis mechanism that is guided by a Divide-and-Conquer schema, is inductive and deductive, is i...
