WORKSHOP ON

DESIGN SCIENCE RESEARCH METHODS: INNOVATING ICT

Mahamaya Technical University, Noida

22nd May 2013

 
 

Mahamaya Technical University organized a workshop on, “DESIGN SCIENCE RESEARCH METHODS: INNOVATING ICT” on 22nd May 2013 at MTU campus, Sector 62, Noida. The workshop was conducted by Dr. Vijay K. Vaishnavi, Distinguished Professor, Georgia State University, USA.

 

Following staff members from Dronacharya Group of institutions, Greater Noida, attended the workshop:

Prof. TPN Singh --- Advisor (R &D)

Ms. Megha Gaur --- Asst Prof MBA Dept.

Mr. Kamlesh Pandey --- Asst Prof ECE Dept.

 

Dr. Om Vikas, the organizer of the program and a member of the RDC gave a brief introduction of Dr. Vaishnavi and hailed him as an architect par excellence in the field of Research and Development. Dr. Vijay Vaishnavi, a research scholoar from IIT, Kanpur was an erstwhile faculty of the Institute. He is regarded as a pioneer in the area of Design Science Research and is considered an authority on the subject. He has authored the first book on the subject, “Design Science Research and Information Systems : Improving and Innovating Information & Communication Technology”.

 

Dr. Vaishnavi referred to Herbert Simon’s book on “Sciences of the Artificial” which has propelled interest and research work in Design Science in professional disciplines. Natural Sciences drove out design from professional school curricula with exception of Management Science, Computer Science and Chemical Engineering. He said that the present day research in professional areas i.e., engineering is mostly data collection and analysis to accept the deputation of some statistical inferences. The concept of novelty which is the prime mover in research is absent. He referred Design as creating something new that does not exist in nature and DSR is using design as a conduit for proliferation of knowledge in that area. The presentation rendered by Dr. Vaishnavi was in three parts:

1. Design Science Research Methods : Introduction

2. DSR Methods : Using Patterns

3. Positioning and Presenting Design Science Research

 

Patterns define the focused path which an attribute of DSR has to follow. The DSR patterns are:

1. Creativity patterns

2. Problem selection and development patterns

3. Literature search patterns

4. Suggestions and development patterns

5. Evaluation and validation patterns

6. Publishing patterns

 

Each pattern has guideposts which navigates a DSR attribute. The identified problem should select the relevant pattern and conduct information gathering accordingly.

 
The third and final part was on Positioning and Presenting Design Science Research. Research is an activity that contributes to the creation of new knowledge that is true and interesting. The areas covered were Knowledge contribution, Theory and theory types, Anatomy of a Research project, Presenting projects and Conclusions. Descriptive and Prescriptive knowledge were differentiated in detail.
 

It was finally concluded that that knowledge contribution must be the focus of Design Science Research.

 

Participation certificates were handed over to all by Dr. V. K. Vaishnavi and Dr. BK Gupta, Chairman CPC. The workshop ended at 1800 hrs.
