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:
“Delay always breeds danger; and to protract a great design is often to ruin it.”
—Miguel De Cervantes (1547–1616)
“The present war having so long cut off all communication with Great-Britain, we are not able to make a fair estimate of the state of science in that country. The spirit in which she wages war is the only sample before our eyes, and that does not seem the legitimate offspring either of science or of civilization.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
