1. DESIGN-BASED
OR
DESIGN SCIENCE
RESEARCH

2. WHAT IS
DESIGN
SCIENCE
RESEARCH?
DESIGN SCIENCE RESEARCH
IT IS AN APPROACH TO RESEARCH THAT
INVOLVES COLLECTING INFORMATION
ABOUT A PROBLEM AND TRYING TO FIND A
SOLUTION TO IT.

4. WHAT IS IT
GOOD FOR?
DESIGN SCIENCE RESEARCH
• Software development
• Systems Design and Development
• Design creations
Any INNOVATIVE project that needs
testing while being developed!

5. HOW CAN I
USE IT IN I.T.
RESEARCH?
DESIGN SCIENCE RESEARCH
• IT WAS FIRST USED FOR IT PURPOSES ON
INFORMATION SYSTEMS.
• IT CAN BE USED FOR SOFTWARE AND SYSTEMS
DEVELOPMENT
• IT INNOVATION

6. WHAT ARE THE
STRENGTHS OF
DSR?
DESIGN SCIENCE RESEARCH
• THE ITERATIVE NATURE OF THE DESIGN
SCIENCE RESEARCH HELPS MEETING
REQUIREMENTS
• DSR COLLABORATES TO THE KNOWLEDGE
BASE CONSTANTLY

7. WHAT ARE THE
WEAKNESSES
OF DSR?
DESIGN SCIENCE RESEARCH
• IT HAS INNOVATION AS A CONSTRAINT
• IT IS TIME CONSUMING
• CANNOT BE USED TO ALL TYPES OF
PROBLEMS
• IT MIGHT DRAW FROM MANY DIFFERENT
DISCIPLINES, THUS NEEDS IMPROVED
COMMUNICATION

8. Flow diagram describing the reconstruction process
based on the interaction between historical sources and 3D data
(Guidi, Russo, & Angheleddu, 2013, p. 104)
“The methodology proposed in this paper in based
on an integrated approach for creating a 3D digital
reconstruction of an archaeological site, using
extensively the 3D documentation of the site in its
current state, followed by an iterative interaction
between archaeologists and digital modelers, leading
to a progressive refinement of the reconstructive
hypotheses.
… This refinement loop on the reconstructive choices
is iterated until the result become convincing by both
points of view, integrating in the best way all the
available sources”.

Reconstruction and 3D modeling
