Design science research (DSR) has staked its rightful ground as an important and legitimate Information Systems (IS) research paradigm. We contend that DSR has yet to attain its full potential impact on the development and use of information systems due to gaps in the understanding and application of DSR concepts and methods. This essay aims to help researchers (1) appreciate the levels of arti...

Design science research (DSR) has become an accepted approach for research in the Information Systems discipline. Although, DSR literature reflects healthy discussion, it reveals a lack of consensus on methodology for conducting DSR. Views and prescriptions on the methodology of DSR appear particularly disparate. Little effort has been made thus far to consolidate and synthesize a comprehensive...

High overhead involved in flooding while route creation is a limiting factor of Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) protocol applied for mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). During data delivery, it seems that we fully benefit from DSR if the route is not long enough. In this paper, we propose two modifications of DSR algorithm to enhance its performance. In the modified approach of DSR, to reduce broadca...

Prior research has identified the similarity of Action Research (AR) and Design Science Research (DSR). This paper analyses AR and DSR from several perspectives, including paradigmatic assumptions of ontology, epistemology, methodology, and ethics, their research interests, and activities. We identify that often AR does not share the paradigmatic assumptions and the research interests of DSR, t...

Abstract The experimental material for the present study comprised of 28 inbred lines (including two checks) which were developed by mutation and hybridization among from AICRP trials MARS, UAS, Dharwad on basis SPAD readings stay green nature, they considered as drought tolerant lines. These used experiment evaluated under both normal moisture stress condition in rain out shelter to their root...

This paper presents a novel multipath energy aware routing for wireless ad hoc network. A deep analysis of different routing metrics such as MBCR, MMBCR and MDR have been led out and the Minimum Drain Rate metric has been selected as energy metric to integrate in the Multipath DSR protocol. Performance comparison with an energy efficient DSR (DSR-MDR) has been presented showing the benefits of ...

We propose feedback loops that increase the coherence between evaluation activities in a design science research (DSR) process. While several scholars have proposed DSR cycles with frequent evaluation activities to provide timely feedback on design activities, the question of how to ensure coherence between these activities has remained largely unaddressed. Yet, coherence is essential to claim ...

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 a...

In order to promote more rigor in Design Science Research (DSR), Gregor and Hevner have proposed guidelines for conducting and evaluating DSR in the Information Systems (IS) discipline. Their work has been influential and widely used to advance the field. However, the way they characterize IS-DSR knowledge contributions excludes what we believe are genuine contributions and includes works that ...
