设计科学研究 (DSR) 现在是信息系统 (IS) 领域公认的研究范式，旨在开发有目的的 IT 工件和有关 IT 工件设计的知识。有关途径、方法和框架的丰富知识体系支持研究人员开展 DSR 项目。虽然方法指导很丰富，但对记录和有效管理 DSR 流程的支持和指导却很少。在本文中，我们提出了一组 DSR 流程工具支持的设计原则以及原型实现 (MyDesignProcess.com)。我们认为，对 DSR 的工具支持应该使研究人员和研究团队能够构建、记录、维护和呈现 DSR，包括由此产生的设计知识和工件。此类工具支持可以提高 DSR 中的可追溯性、协作和质量。我们通过将其应用于已发布的案例来说明原型实现的使用，并建议使用工具来有效管理面向设计的研究的指南。
Design Science Research (DSR) is now an accepted research paradigm in the Information Systems (IS) field, aiming at developing purposeful IT artifacts and knowledge about the design of IT artifacts. A rich body of knowledge on approaches, methods, and frameworks supports researchers in conducting DSR projects. While methodological guidance is abundant, there is little support and guidance for documenting and effectively managing DSR processes. In this article, we present a set of design principles for tool support for DSR processes along with a prototypical implementation (MyDesignProcess.com). We argue that tool support for DSR should enable researchers and teams of researchers to structure, document, maintain, and present DSR, including the resulting design knowledge and artifacts. Such tool support can increase traceability, collaboration, and quality in DSR. We illustrate the use of our prototypical implementation by applying it to published cases, and we suggest guidelines for using tools to effectively manage design-oriented research.
