A theory landscape of design: mapping the theoretical discourse of the discipline
Katja Thoring1, Roland M. Mueller2
1Technical University of Munich, Germany; 2Berlin School of Economics and Law, Germany
This paper presents a mapping of theory use in the design discipline based on the corpus of the published ICED and DESIGN conference papers since 2010. We searched the resulting 4,451 papers for occurrences of theories and compared them with an existing ontology of named theories through natural language processing (NLP). The results yielded a variety of analyses, illustrating, for example, the most-used theories and which disciplines these theories stem from. This paper presents a rich overview of the theories relevant to the design discipline and a novel approach to bibliometric analyses.
Research story telling: using the research journey map to communicate information, data, systems, and artifacts
Jonathan Cagan
Carnegie Mellon University, United States of America
The Research Journey Map is introduced to guide researchers on creating engaging, meaningful and impactful presentations and publications. Built on the foundational work of the Hero’s Journey by Joseph Campbell, this template helps technical researchers communicate information, data, systems and artifacts that result from research so that audiences grasp and embrace the research findings.
Operationalizing community-based open scientific design research benchmarks: application to model-based architecture design synthesis
1Univ. Grenoble Alpes, CNRS, Grenoble INP, G-SCOP, France; 2Arts et Métiers ParisTech, France; 3ISAE-Supméca, France; 4École Centrale de Nantes, France
The point has repeatedly been made that validation is a crucial success factor in demonstrating the scientific contribution and ensuring the adoption of results. Still, researchers in design science validate their research findings too infrequently. We must all evaluate our claimed contributions on open benchmarks to improve validation quality and foster cumulative research. In this paper, we propose a meta-model to standardise and operationalise the concept of open scientific benchmarks in design science and to guide communities of researchers in the co-development of scientific benchmarks.
Future design narratives: an interdisciplinary approach to a decolonial glossary
Victoria Rodriguez Schon, Manuela Celi
Politecnico di Milano, Italy
As design evolves, language serves as a bridge between envisioned futures and the ontological elements of design that shape them. This manuscript presents an alternative glossary that gathers words from diverse disciplines and practices intersected by a decolonial lens that challenges hegemonical narratives. The glossary of the world to come results from a three-day workshop that focused on language as a formal, normative, and subversive tool capable of defining future behaviour and destabilizing the present. The terms are some among the many that exist to form this decolonial world.
Replication studies in engineering design – a feasibility study
Jonas Rode1, Ingo Jonuschies1, Sven Matthiesen2, Kilian Gericke1
1University of Rostock, Germany; 2Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany
This paper examines the replicability of studies in design research triggered by the replication crisis in psychology. It highlights the importance of replicating studies to ensure the robustness of research results and examines whether the description in a publication is sufficient to replicate. Therefore, the publication of a reference study was analysed and a replication study was conducted. The design of the replication study appears similar to the reference study, but the results differ. Possible reasons for the differences and implications for replication studies are discussed.
Feedback thought at the intersection of systems and design science
Igor Czermainski de Oliveira, Daniel Guzzo, Daniela C. A. Pigosso
Technical University of Denmark, DTU Construct, Denmark
This paper explores the interplay of feedback principles in design and systems science. From their roots in engineering, biology, and economics, it investigates intersections between design, cybernetics and servomechanisms. The synthesis emphasizes the need for considering feedback in anticipating unintended consequences and proposes an integrative view reconciling fundamental assumptions from the different fields through simulation. This holistic approach underscores the pivotal role of feedback in understanding and addressing complex phenomena, such as rebound effects, in design science.
