Description
The User Experience (UX) and Design Science Research (DSR) paradigms have much in common; they both contribute to Information Systems (IS) research by providing guidelines for designing successful Information Technology (IT) systems. We are working toward a research paradigm that combines the best elements of DSR and UX for designing user-centric IT systems with an outstanding user experience. To achieve this goal, we are jointly applying these two paradigms to develop an IT artifact (a sleep app). We will examine what we have learned from applying DSR and the UX principles and explore how these two paradigms individually and jointly can strengthen the design and development process for user-centric systems. Our initial results indicate that jointly using these two paradigms can strengthen the design and development process for user-centric systems and can be of great value to theory and practice.
