Design Science Research

Abstract

This book aims to revisit the proposals of Herbert Simon in his landmark work The Sciences of the Artificial. One of Simon’s important contributions is to invite us to rethink our research practices. His intention is not to abandon the research that is being performed, but to expand our conception of science, science’s objects and objectives, along with the need to develop knowledge of a prescriptive nature that expresses itself in the design and construction of artifacts.
