For this assignment, you must locate five scholarly publications within the business, information systems, technology, computational science, or any technical domain where constructive research is appropriate and where an artifact (e.g., algorithm, language, software tool, framework, or process) was proposed to address a need.
Analyze the proposed artifact in each study, and then, write a report addressing each of the questions below:
What were the specific objectives of the artifact, that is, the theory of what a “better” artifact would accomplish or might look like?
How does it address the problem? Identify at least two references that justify the artifact’s objectives in prior research, describe the justification, and assess their appropriateness to the study’s goals. How well do they correlate?
Can you describe the study’s results and its contribution to the body of knowledge? Why is it significant?
