Resumo: Design-oriented information systems research aims to produce effective solutions for real world problems. The evaluation of resulting IT systems is essential to prove the efficacy of solutions, but can be difficult if the application environment is highly complex and dynamic. This talk first introduces a generic IT design and evaluation methodology, including an overview of specific evaluation methods. It then zooms into the case of disaster and emergency management and suggests serious games as a particular evaluation method that balances cost and realism for IT evaluation.
