本文激励，介绍，演示使用，并进行信息系统（IS）的设计科学（DS）的研究方法进行评估。DS在面向成功工件创建的学科中非常重要。一些研究人员已经率先在IS中进行DS研究，但在过去的15年中，在该学科中几乎没有进行DS研究。缺乏一种方法作为普遍接受的框架，为DS研究和模板，其介绍可能是其缓慢通过的原因。这里提出的设计科学研究方法（DSRM）采用的原则，实践和程序进行这样的研究，并满足三个目标：它与以前的文献是一致的，它提供了一个名义上的过程模型做DS的研究，它提供了一个心理模型呈现和评估DS的研究在IS。DS过程包括六个步骤：问题识别和动机，解决方案目标的定义，设计和开发，演示，评估和沟通。我们演示和评估的方法，提出了四个案例研究的DSRM，包括案件，目前的数据库设计，以支持健康评估方法，软件重用措施，互联网视频电话应用程序，和IS规划方法。所设计的方法有效地满足了这三个目标，并有可能帮助援助DS研究在IS学科的接受。
The paper motivates, presents, demonstrates in use, and evaluates a methodology for conducting design science (DS) research in information systems (IS). DS is of importance in a discipline oriented to the creation of successful artifacts. Several researchers have pioneered DS research in IS, yet over the past 15 years, little DS research has been done within the discipline. The lack of a methodology to serve as a commonly accepted framework for DS research and of a template for its presentation may have contributed to its slow adoption. The design science research methodology (DSRM) presented here incorporates principles, practices, and procedures required to carry out such research and meets three objectives: it is consistent with prior literature, it provides a nominal process model for doing DS research, and it provides a mental model for presenting and evaluating DS research in IS. The DS process includes six steps: problem identification and motivation, definition of the objectives for a solution, design and development, demonstration, evaluation, and communication. We demonstrate and evaluate the methodology by presenting four case studies in terms of the DSRM, including cases that present the design of a database to support health assessment methods, a software reuse measure, an Internet video telephony application, and an IS planning method. The designed methodology effectively satisfies the three objectives and has the potential to help aid the acceptance of DS research in the IS discipline.
