摘要

此一論文作者們設計和演示出一種資訊系統(IS)中貫徹設計科學(DS)研究的程序，並用兩個個案演示這種程序的使用來達成研究。許多IS研究者已開創了對資訊系統中的設計科學研究的認同，近15年來少數的DS研究在專業訓練中被採用。在資訊系統中的設計科學中呈現出缺乏一種一般認同的程序的間題。We sought to design a design science research process (DSRP) model that would meet three objectives: it would be consistent with prior literature, it would provide a nominal process model for doing DS research, and it would provide a mental model for presenting and appreciating DS research in IS. The process includes six steps:  problem identification and motivation, objectives for a solution, design and development, evaluation, and communication. We demonstrated the process by using it in this study and by presenting two case studies, one in IS planning to develop application ideas for mobile financial services and another in requirements engineering to specify feature requirements for a self service advertising design and sales system intended for wide audience end users. The process effectively satisfies the three objectives and has the potential to help aid the acceptance of DS research in the IS discipline.

INTRODUCTION
Information systems (IS) is an “applied” research discipline, we acknowledge, in the sense that we apply theory, frequently from other disciplines, such as economics, computer science, and the social sciences, to solve problems at the intersection of IT and organizations. Yet the dominant research paradigms we use to produce and publish research for our most respected research outlets largely continue to be traditional descriptive research borrowed from the social and natural sciences. More recently we’ve accepted interpretive research paradigms into our culture, but the resulting research output is still mostly explanatory and not often very applicable, it could be argued. While design, the act of creating an explicitly applicable solution to a problem, is an accepted research paradigm in other disciplines, such as engineering, this paradigm has been employed in just a small minority of research papers published in our best journals to produce artifacts of practical value to either the research or professional audience. 
We wonder whether this may help to explain why the center of gravity for research in, for example, systems analysis and design, arguably IS research’s raison d’être, seems to have moved to engineering, dominated by research streams like “requirements engineering” and “software engineering.” Engineering disciplines accept design as a valid and valuable research methodology, but for the most part, major IS journals still
seem to find it a questionable model for quality research. For example, a few years ago, when one of this paper’s authors discussed the potential submission of an article about a better requirements analysis methodology with the editor-in-chief of one of the highest ranked IS research journals, he was told that the journal didn’t entertain papers about new systems development methods, because they involved neither theory development nor theory testing.
