Models of Design science in information systems: A visual overview

The aim of this paper is to give a visual overview of the existing models used in design science in information system research. The paper gives a brief literature review and visual
presentations of available models that indicate how they developed over time. The authors
used design science in information system design as a methodology in their secondary experience research in which they are exploring the possibilities of increasing efficiency and effectiveness of scientific communication by designing a prototype of an information system for
that exact purpose. This paper focuses on the visual presentation of models created for the
purpose of this paper. By using the same design in presenting the selected models, the authors
will facilitate the comparison, analysis and application of these models.
