Case Studies
All Forsys participants are requested to submit one or more case studies to the wiki.
From June 2012 - Jan 2013 the Case Study Technical Committee will solicit and follow up on potential cases, answer any questions, provide feedback on drafts.
Purpose
The main purpose of these case studies is to identify and share 'lessons learned', which will contribute to the overall Forsys objective of providing guidelines on DSS development and use.
Sources
Two sources of cases are possible:
- Unpublished cases contributed by Forsys members and STSMs: We ask that each Forsys participant try to identify one or more case from their personal knowledge and enter some basic information on it in the wiki (including lessons). We are in the proces of designing a semantic wiki form for members to enter this information.
- Cases from the literature: We also ask that Forsys participants identify existing cases in the literature and extract lessons learned. We are in the process of reviewing possible databases to enter and store this information, such as Citeulike and Mendeley

Contributing New Case Studies
Please note that you must be logged into the wiki to add information. Click on the 'log in' text in the upper right corner and enter your existing account information or create a new account.
Once you are logged in, you can use this Case study form to contribute a case to the wiki.
The focus of each case should be on 'lessons learned', so please consider what lessons you can derive from the case and make sure that your case description supports these lessons.
Please contact the Case Study Technical Committee with any questions or problems - we are ready to help you!
