Mikael Lind, University College of Borås and Jönköping International Business School: e-Me in Design Science

In a pioneering research project an effort to elicit requirements of an electronic assistant has been made. An e-Me, that helps students in organizing their life. The vision is that the students should not need to go to the information - the information rather comes to the students based on the active profile set by the student. The e-Me project has so far been about exploring the concept of an electronic assistant as the next generation of platforms for people-centric (citizen-centric) e-services starting with students as one category of people. This exploration has been done in conceptual development (refinement of the vision), realization of the e-Me as an artifact, and in a phase of proof of concept involving several future users in the spirit of co-design. The line of action adopted in the e-Me project has been inspired by design science. During the seminar the different phases of the e-Me project will be related to core categories according to the information systems research framework proposed by Hevner et al (2004).
