Exploring design as a research activity
CHI '07 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems, pp 2861-2864

Abstract
Human-computer interaction research often includes a significant design component. In cases where software or other tools are developed and described, but no empirical evaluation is provided, the research consists almost entirely of the knowledge marshaled in support of and as a result of design activities. Very little analysis has been carried out, however, into the scientific and epistemological bases underpinning this kind of research. The purpose of this workshop is to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to present and discuss different perspectives on the nature of design as a research activity, and the challenges facing researchers who employ design as a methodology.
