Given the continuing COVID-19 pandemic and the evolving situation regarding government regulations and advisories, we have decided that this year’s conference will be virtual.

Theme: Designing for Digital Transformation – Co-Creating Services with Citizens and Industry

There has been a surge of interest in design science research (DSR) in Information Systems in the last few years and we can say that this is now a mature field. The goal of the design science research paradigm is to extend the boundaries of human and organizational capabilities by designing new and innovative constructs, models, methods, processes, and systems. Scholars from different backgrounds – such as information systems, computer science, data science, software engineering, energy informatics, medical informatics, and operations research – are actively engaged in generating novel solutions to interesting design problems. The theme of DESRIST 2020 is designing for digital transformation and our goal is to bring not only researchers but also practitioners from the private and public sector to the conference to discuss and debate how to co-create services for citizens and industries.

The 15^th DESRIST conference will bring together researchers and practitioners engaged in all aspects of design science research, with a special emphasis on the design of services for digital transformation. Apart from theoretical contributions we are encouraging submissions on specific solutions, such as products and prototypes. We invite contributions (research papers, demos, and panel/debate proposals) that describe work in different areas of design science research, including, but not limited to, the following:

 

• Conference Theme
• • Designing for Digital Transformation
  • Service Design and Design of Service Systems
  • Co-Designing Public Services and Governments
• Theoretical and Methodological Contributions to Design Science Research
  • Science of Design and Design Theory
  • Design Processes and Principles of Design
  • Modularity and Rules in Design
  • Representations and Architectures for Design
  • Evaluation of Design Science Research
  • Emerging Methods and Tools in Design Science Research
  • Design Economics
• Domain-specific Applications of Design Science Research
  • Design in Marketing/Sales, Manufacturing, Logistics, Supply Chain Management, and Finance
  • Design in Healthcare, Education, Tourism
  • Design for Environmental Sustainability, Energy Informatics, and GreenIS
  • Design Science for Data Science, Intelligent Systems, Embedded Systems, Ubiquitous Computing, Smart Objects and Environments
  • Design Science for Human Computer Interaction, Computer-Supported Cooperative Work, and Social Computing

 

We invite papers and panels as well as product presentations.
