Design Science Research Guidelines (up)

 
The following guidelines are based on [HEV04] and [BEC09]

Guideline 1: Design as an Artifact (up)

The maturity model developed in this thesis is expected to be a purposeful IT artifact which addresses a certain problem. 

Guideline 2: Problem Relevance (up)

The challenges the financial services industry is facing, SOA’s potential to mitigate some of these challenges, and the issues which arise during the adoption of a SOA in such an environment are relevant issues which are outlined in the chapters four and five. 

Guideline 3: Design Evaluation (up)

The design of the maturity model is evaluated by conducting interviews with experts in the relevant areas. 

Guideline 4: Research contributions (up)

The developed maturity model and the systematization of criteria for SOA maturity is a contribution to research in this field but also a real-world solution. 

Guideline 5: Research Rigor (up)

The maturity model was created in a research process. 

Guideline 6: Design as a Search Process (up)

The development of the initial model and evaluation and improvement using interviews represents an iterative approach. Further iterations can be done by using the model in a real-world example and implement further improvements

Guideline 7: Communication of research (up)

The model itself as well as the research approach and the potential benefits its application offers are documented and communicated.
