Design As Science
There is growing pressure on architects, engineers, lawyers, managers and other design-oriented professionals to act and decide on the basis of a systematic body of evidence (cf. Van Aken and Romme 2009). Hevner and Chatterjee (2010) provide a reference on Design Science Research (DSR) in Information Systems, including a selection of papers from the DESRIST conferences, a look at key principles of DSR, and the integration of action research with design research. Robert Winter stated that the book shows an increased demand for more relevant design-oriented research on real-world business problems. In 2010 122 professors promoted design science in information system research by signing a memorandum (cf Österle et al. 2010).

Famous quotes containing the words design and/or science:
“With wonderful art he grinds into paint for his picture all his moods and experiences, so that all his forces may be brought to the encounter. Apparently writing without a particular design or responsibility, setting down his soliloquies from time to time, taking advantage of all his humors, when at length the hour comes to declare himself, he puts down in plain English, without quotation marks, what he, Thomas Carlyle, is ready to defend in the face of the world.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“If science fiction is the mythology of modern technology, then its myth is tragic.”
—Ursula K. Le Guin (b. 1929)
