Design as science in information

Hevner et al. provide a set of seven guidelines which help information systems researchers conduct, evaluate and present design-science research . The seven guidelines address design as an artifact, problem relevance, design evaluation, research contributions, research rigor, design as a search process, and research communication.
Later extensions of the Design Science framework detail how design and research problems can be rationally decomposed by means of nested problem solving . It is also explained how the regulative cycle (problem investigation, solution design, design validation, solution implementation, and implementation evaluation) fits in the framework. Peffers et al  developed a model for producing and presenting information systems research, the Design Science Research Process. The Peffers et al model has been used extensively and Adams provides an example of the process model being applied to create a digital forensic process model
