PublicationFail Early, Fail Often: Towards Coherent Feedback Loops in Design Science Research EvaluationWe propose feedback loops that increase the coherence between evaluation activities in a design science research (DSR) process. While several scholars have proposed DSR cycles with frequent evaluation activities to provide timely feedback on design activities, the question of how to ensure coherence between these activities has remained largely unaddressed. Yet, coherence is essential to claim validity not only for the DSR artifact, but also for the DSR process. Based on a review of existing DSR literature, we propose an approach that ensures coherence between initial problem definition and final evaluation activities by explicating the notion of relevance underlying the DSR project, and between design and construction activities by creating situational design specifications.We exemplarily apply our approach to an ongoing DSR project. We conclude with a research agenda, where we build on the recent debate on generalizability in information systems to identify six fruitful avenues for further research.

PublicationVisualizing and Measuring Enterprise Application Architecture: An Exploratory Telecom CaseWe test a method for visualizing and measuring enterprise application architectures. The method was designed and previously used to reveal the hidden internal architectural structure of software applications. The focus of this paper is to test if it can also uncover new facts about the applications and their relationships in an enterprise architecture, i.e., if the method can reveal the hidden external structure between software applications. Our test uses data from a large international telecom company. In total, we analyzed 103 applications and 243 dependencies. Results show that the enterprise application structure can be classified as a core-periphery architecture with a propagation cost of 25%, core size of 34%, and architecture flow through of 64%. These findings suggest that the method could be effective in uncovering the hidden structure of an enterprise application architecture.
