Professor Dirk Hovorka is currently involved in three research streams: 1.) Fundamentals of IS research and design science research; 2.) Knowledge production in business and science disciplines using latent semantic analysis, 3.) Service oriented information systems. Contact Dr Hovorka at dhovorka@bond.edu.au
