The Fourth DESRIST Conference is a meeting place that brings together researchers and practitioners engaged in Design Science research in the broadest sense. The Design Science research community believes that Design Science involves creating, constructing, studying and evaluating innovative artifacts such as constructs, frameworks, models, methods, and systems; as well as the study of methods, behaviors, processes related to design. Questions and concerns in Design Science, therefore, relate to choosing domains in which individuals and teams would intervene, the context in which these interventions would take place, and the consequences of these interventions.

We invite contributions that describe your work in the area of Design Science research. These include but are not limited to:
  • Science of Design and Design Theory
  • Philosophical foundations of Design Science Research
  • Evaluation of Design Science Research
  • Infrastructure Design
  • Design Processes
  • Representation for Design
  • Design Evolution
  • Organizational Design
  • Design for Innovation
  • Design Economics
  • Modularity and Rules in Design
  • Architectures for Design
  • Meta-Design Control in Design
  • Design of Software-Intensive Systems
The domains for intervention may include: Software, Services, Database, Business Processes, Information Systems, User Interfaces, Knowledge Discovery and Management, Data Mining, Online Communities, Medical, Health and Bio-Informatics, Social and Virtual Collaboration, Networking and Multimedia Systems, Grid and Peer-to-Peer Computing, Pervasive Computing, etc.
