On the Relevance of Design Knowledge for Design-Oriented Business and Information Systems Engineering

Abstract

The engineering-based development of techniques in business and information systems engineering (BISE) requires knowledge on the part of the systemdesigner. The paper points out the importance of this design knowledge in the course of scientific design processes and provides a framework for systemizing design knowledge. The framework is used to explain scientific design knowledge about the modeling technique of event-driven process chains. Implications of design knowledge in the context of BISE conclude the contribution.
