Going Back to Basics in Design: From the IT Artifact to the IS Artifact
نویسندگان
چکیده
Playing a central role in the information-systems research community’s discourse on design science has been the concept of the “IT artifact.” We pose the alternative concept of the “IS artifact.” We “unpack” what has been called the “IT artifact” into a separate “information artifact” and “technology artifact” that, together with a “social artifact,” interact to form the “IS artifact.” We illustrate the value of the “IS artifact” concept with material from two cases. The result is to restore the idea that design science needs to attend to the design of the entire IS artifact, not just the IT artifact.

The truncation artifact in a skinny patient following myocardial perfusion SPECT
Myocardial perfusion SPECT is one of the most common imaging techniques performed in nuclear medicine departments. To avoid misleading interpretation, it is necessary to address the quality control and technical problems. The truncation artifact occurs when the patient size is large relative to the field of view of the camera, causing false perfusion defects in the LV myocardium, misinterpreted...
متن کاملRemoving ECG Artifact from the Surface EMG Signal Using Adaptive Subtraction Technique
Background: The electrocardiogram artifact is a major contamination in the electromyogram signals when electromyogram signal is recorded from upper trunk muscles and because of that the contaminated electromyogram is not useful.Objective: Removing electrocardiogram contamination from electromyogram signals.Methods: In this paper, the clean electromyogram signal, electrocardiogram artifact and e...
متن کاملArtifact reduction techniques in Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) imaging modality
Introduction: Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) was introduced and became more common based on its low cost, fast image procedure rate and low radiation dose compared to CT. This imaging modality improved diagnostic and treatment-planning procedures by providing three-dimensional information with greatly reduced level of radiation dose compared to 2D dental imaging modalitie...

A partition-based algorithm for clustering large-scale software systems
Clustering techniques are used to extract the structure of software for understanding, maintaining, and refactoring. In the literature, most of the proposed approaches for software clustering are divided into hierarchical algorithms and search-based techniques. In the former, clustering is a process of merging (splitting) similar (non-similar) clusters. These techniques suffered from the drawba...
