Mobile Computing • Locating using cell phones
Non rationalistic characteristics of design • Multiple points of view (perspectives) • Individuals and communities’ known / own ontology, epistemology, language • Satisficing with multiple stakeholders • Prescription in problem naming / framing • Is design purely subjective(limits of rationalistic approach?) • No: there are limits in design, several alternatives that consequently lead to limited set of solutions • But what are the limiting factors? • Yes: even in engineering settings (like NASA) varied solutions are rationalized post hoc (sort of)
What did we learn in 30 years? • What is the difference between reflecting and (human) “thinking”? • “Software tools / environments for ‘thinking’ users” versus “a critique of AI based environments” • Controversy: can the criticized elements truly be “implemented”? • Science of Design (Simon) v. Science of Designers (Schoen) • Getting “design” back into schools of engineering is an oxymoron • How do we define science? • As in natural science,or • As in Simon’s alternate view • But if science is socially constructed, its definition need not be fixed (may evolve) • Have natural scientists appropriated the term?
