In early June, our DPhil student Marcel Seger presented his research at the 20th International Conference on Design Science Research in Information Systems and Technology (DESRIST), hosted by the University of the West Indies. This year’s conference explored the theme of “Contextual Design Science Research: Local Solutions for Global Challenges.“
Design Science Research (DSR) is renowned for its practical orientation, effectively bridging theory and practice. Since its emergence in the early 2000s, largely driven by Prof. Alan Hevner who also attended this year’s conference, DSR has become a prominent methodological approach within academia, helping researchers tackle complex, real-world organisational problems.
Marcel presented preliminary findings from his second doctoral paper, focused on designing and developing a decision support system for electric vehicle (EV) workplace charging, titled: “Making the Invisible Count: A Design Science Research Approach to Predictive Modelling of Electric Vehicle Workplace Charging Loads.” His presentation featured an innovative open-source web application, a digital artefact, designed to help organisations simulate EV charging loads resulting from increased EV adoption by their employees.
We extend special thanks to the conference organisers for a fantastic event, and to Dr Christoph Clement and Dr Marc-Fabian Körner, co-authors of the presented paper.
