I took an extra long period of time off between the spring and summer semesters….glad I did too. I was able to relax a bit and focus on some other things (like starting this blog!).
My ‘summer vacation’ has come to an end though. I started my summer course June 28 and am actually extremely excited about this course.
The course is titled “INFS 892 – Theory Development and Use in Design Research” and the description is below:
This course focuses on theory development and use in design science research through intensive research in a specific topic area. Students will select one of three approaches described below in their topic area to develop a conceptual paper by the end of the semester.
Information Systems Design Theories: In-depth analysis of behavioral research in specific topic areas and the development of information system design theories to address IS design problems in the area.
Formal Models and Design Frameworks: Use for mathematical modeling techniques such as set theory, graph theory, and logic based mechanisms to model information system problems and develop information system design frameworks.
Simulation-based Socio-Technical Theories: Use of social network analysis, data-mining and agent-based simulation tools to understand and model socio-technical systems.
Looks like fun!
I’ll let you know how it goes.
