Design science research methods and patterns: innovating information and communication technology (2nd ed.)

摘要

Research methods for design science are presented in this book. It has adapted techniques from traditional disciplines to design science. For instance, iterative prototyping is a method used in software engineering, and the book adapts this technique to design science. Some of the techniques that are used in design science include creativity patterns, problem selection and development patterns, literature search patterns, and suggestion and development patterns. In the book, all of these patterns are described in depth. The authors have analyzed how these patterns can be used in design science, such as how brainstorming can be used for developing an innovative solution, which is explored in the creativity patterns section. The book also covers the relevant design science research patterns adapted from the theory of inventive problem solving.
