Design Science Research is a powerful paradigm enabling researchers to make important contributions to society and industry. Simply stated, the goal of DSR is to generate knowledge on how to find innovative solutions to important problems in the form of models, methods, constructs and instantiations. Over the past 20 years, the design science research (DSR) paradigm has developed into an established paradigm in Information Systems Research and it is of strong uptake in many other disciplines, including Management Science and Computer Science.This book provides a collection of twelve DSR cases, presented by experienced researchers in the field. It offers readers access to real-world DSR studies, together with the authors’ reflections on their research processes. These cases will support researchers who want to engage in DSR, and represent a valuable addition to existing introductions to DSR methods and processes. Readers will learn from the hands-on experiences of respected experts who have conducted extensive DSR in a range of application contexts.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Design Science Research in Information Systems and Technology, DESRIST 2022, held in Tampa, FL, USA, in June 2022.The 37 revised full research papers, included in the volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 103 submissions. They are organized in the following topical sections: ​Transdisciplinary Research & DSR (theme Track); Blockchain Information Systems; Intelligent Systems and Human Interaction; Healthcare Systems and Quality of Life; Innovation and Entrepreneurship; Sustainability and Responsible Design (Environmental Issues, Human Values and ethical Design); Human Safety and Cybersecurity; Emerging DSR Methods and Processes; Designers and Collaborative DSR; and Education and DSR.

The two-volume proceedings set LNCS 16605 and 16606 constitutes the refereed main proceedings of the 21st International Conference on Design Science Research in Information Systems and Technology, DESRIST 2026, which was held in Münster, Germany, during June 8–10, 2026.Given the large number of high-quality contributions, the 2026 proceedings are published in three volumes: LNCS 16605 and 16606 as main proceedings include all accepted full papers, while LNCS 16607 contains all accepted Prototypes and Research-in-Progress Proceedings papers. DESRIST 2026 received a total of 231 submissions across all tracks and formats. The 48 full papers included in these main proceedings were carefully reviewed and selected from 108 full research paper submissions.The papers presented in LNCS 16605 and 16606 as main proceedings are organized in the following topical sections:Part I : Design for Better Futures: Beyond the Science of the Artificial (Theme Track); “From Insight to Impact” (General Track); The Future of Financial Services; Future of Data-Driven and AI-Enabled Design; Future of Healthcare and Wellbeing.Part II : Future of Design and Entrepreneurship; Future of Responsible and Sustainable Design; Future of Design Science Education; Future of Design Science Methodology; Future of Ecosystems for Design Science Research.
