Although the expanding applications of blockchain technologies have been widely explored in the IS literature, a noticeable gap exists in understanding information systems development methods (ISDMs) that facilitate the implementation of systems leveraging these technologies. A conceptual foundation that cohesively organizes an ISDM along with its facets associated with the development lifecycle for this class of systems is lacking. Applying a Design Science Research approach and borrowing ideas from method engineering, we describe a comprehensive framework for the development of blockchain systems. A series of qualitative in-depth applicability checks with domain experts and case studies lend credence to the core framework fragments. The evaluation results demonstrate the utility of the proposed framework as a conceptual anchor to simplify the understanding of the complex nature of developing blockchain systems and lead researchers to suggest future research agendas in their quests using our framework. The framework can aid practitioners in comparing or designing new ISDMs to satisfy the requirements of blockchain development.

迈向开发区块链系统的集成框架

尽管区块链技术的扩展应用已在信息系统文献中得到了广泛探讨，但在理解促进利用这些技术的系统实施的信息系统开发方法（ISDM）方面仍存在明显差距。缺乏一个概念基础来紧密地组织 ISDM 及其与此类系统的开发生命周期相关的各个方面。应用设计科学研究方法并借鉴方法工程的思想，我们描述了区块链系统开发的综合框架。与领域专家和案例研究进行的一系列定性深入的适用性检查为核心框架片段提供了可信度。评估结果证明了所提出的框架作为概念锚的实用性，可以简化对开发区块链系统复杂性的理解，并引导研究人员使用我们的框架在他们的任务中提出未来的研究议程。该框架可以帮助从业者比较或设计新的ISDM以满足区块链开发的要求。
