Track 11
Design Science Research: Development & Modeling of Information Systems
The design and implementation of suitable information systems is a prerequisite for the realization of innovative business models and represents an essential basis for digital transformation. Enterprise modeling forms an important design basis for this. Enterprise models are the central basis of information system development methods and aim at the joint design of computer-based information systems and organizational action systems. The track provides a forum for current research on conceptual modeling, enterprise modeling, and information systems development. The track addresses current challenges in the corresponding research fields, including in particular the use of conceptual models in the context of „innovative organizational forms, new business models, and forms of cooperation and interaction that exhibit considerable complexity and place corresponding demands on information system design.“
The orientation of the track reflects the diversity of research objectives, research subjects, and research methods in the corresponding research fields.
