This workshop was the fourth in the ANU series of biennial workshops, originally inspired by one held in 1999 by Kit Dampney at Macquarie University, and focussing on the theoretical foundations of the discipline of information systems. The theme of the 2008 Workshop was ‘Answering the Unanswered Questions about Design Research’ and it once again allowed researchers and practitioners in the field of Information Systems to come together to discuss some of the fundamental issues relating to our discipline. Information Systems is still a quite young field of study that, perhaps uniquely, is a peculiar juxtaposition of the technological, in the form of computing and communication technology, and the non-technological, in the form of the humans and organisations that design, implement and use systems built with that technology. Indeed, it is this fact of “design” that was the focus of the 2008 workshop and which tempts one to put information systems into the same sort of category as disciplines such as, for example, architecture, accounting or engineering where artefacts (which may be physical or conceptual) destined specifically for human use and activities are envisaged and created ex nihilo, as it were. But even so, it may be argued that information systems remains different from these and other similar areas in at least one important sense for, once an architectural, engineering or accounting artefact is completed it is typically just that – complete. But most information systems are never “complete”. They are instead usually dynamic by being modified, adjusted, extended or otherwise changed over the course of their existence in continuing response to altered needs and circumstances. This has and still does present a problem, for how does one go about successfully designing an artefact of this nature? Moreover, on what theoretical foundations should such design be based? Design sciences are not, as are the natural and most other human sciences, aimed at understanding and explaining the phenomena of the world as presented to our senses but rather enabling intervention in the world through the designed artefact in such a way as to achieve certain desired outcomes. Accordingly, it is to be expected that the principles as well as the practices of the design sciences in general and information systems in particular will differ from those of other sciences, and it was towards these issues that the 2008 workshop was directed. Typically the information systems foundations workshops give authors an opportunity to present papers and get feedback on ideas that might be regarded ix Information Systems Foundations: The Role of Design Science as too new or risky for publication in conventional outlets. There have been some good outcomes from this approach, with revised papers going on to find a wider audience in mainstream journals. As the workshop is deliberately kept small, and there is only one stream of papers, all paper presentations are typically attended by all participants, which often leads to ongoing and vigorous discussion. The papers presented here were accepted after a double-blind review process and we thank our program committee and reviewers for their assistance. We also acknowledge and thank the sponsors of the workshop: The National Centre for Information Systems Research (NCISR), the School of Accounting and Business Information Systems at the ANU and the Enterprise Information Infrastructure Network of the Australian Research Council. Finally, we would like to thank the keynote speakers at the workshop – Richard Baskerville, Juhani Iivari and Alan Hevner – whose presence, expertise and participation added greatly to the value of the event for all concerned. All in all, therefore, the Workshop provided a stimulating and productive as well as an enjoyable couple of days for both the authors and attendees, and we hope that the papers that form this volume will provide similar stimulation, provoke similar productive outcomes, and perhaps provide some enjoyable reading as well, for a wider audience than those who were able to attend the Workshop itself. Dennis Hart Shirley Gregor x Preface The Papers The papers in this book are organised into four sections entitled ‘Philosophical Foundations, ‘Theory and Method’, ‘Applications’ and ‘Design Science in IS’, reflecting the wide range of topics relating to Design Science that were addressed in the 2008 Workshop. The philosophical foundations section contains two papers, each of which puts forward a different and challenging new perspective to the Information Systems discipline. The first, by Hovorka and Germonprez, essentially argues that service-based information systems in fact do (and should) undergo not only the usual design stage (or stages) recognized by traditional systems development methods but also potentially multiple “secondary” design phases where their users identify, through a continuous evolutionary

In many ways, the sciences of design defy disciplinary characterization. They demand multiple epistemologies, theoretical orientations (e.g. construction, analysis or intervention) and value considerations.

The main conclusion of the work is the practical 3D parametric design obtained for a laparoscopic surgical graspers handle that is scalable to fit each particular surgeon's hand size. In addition, it has been possible to determine that the anthropometric measure of the surgeon's hand defined as Palm Length Measured (PLM) allows the design of the 3D parametric model of the surgical handle to be conveniently scaled. The results show that both additive manufacturing and the application of ergonomics criterion provide an efficient method for the custom design and manufacture of this type of specialised tool, with potential application in other sectors.

  • 8 Typographic Design
    8 Typographic Design Lesson overview In this lesson, you’ll learn how to do the following: • Use guides to position text in a composition. • Make a clipping mask from type. • Merge type with other layers. • Use layer styles with text. • Preview typefaces interactively to choose them for a composition. • Control type and positioning using advanced type palette features. • Warp a layer around a 3D object. This lesson will take about an hour to complete. If needed, download the Lesson08.zip file and extract it. As you work on this lesson, you’ll preserve the start files. About type Type in Photoshop consists of mathematically defined shapes that describe the letters, numbers, and symbols of a typeface. Many typefaces are available in more than one format, the most common formats being Type 1 or PostScript fonts, TrueType, and OpenType (see page 266). When you add type to an image in Photoshop, the characters are composed of pixels and have the same resolution as the image file— zooming in on characters shows jagged edges. However, Photoshop preserves the vector-based type outlines and uses them when you scale or resize type, save a PDF or EPS file, or print the image to a PostScript printer. As a result, you can produce type with crisp, resolution- independent edges, apply effects and styles to type, and transform its shape and size. 248 LESSON 8 Typographic Design Getting started In this lesson, you’ll work on the layout for the label of a bottle of olive oil. You will start from an illustration of a bottle, created in Adobe Illustrator, and then add and stylize type in Photoshop, including wrapping the text to conform to the 3D shape.

  • Metrics for Measuring Sustainable Product Design Concepts
    energies Article Metrics for Measuring Sustainable Product Design Concepts Ji Han 1,*, Pingfei Jiang 2 and Peter R. N. Childs 3 1 School of Engineering, University of Liverpool, Liverpool L69 3BX, UK 2 Department of Mechanical Engineering, Kingston University, London SW15 3DW, UK; [email protected] 3 Dyson School of Design Engineering, Imperial College London, London SW7 2DB, UK; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Although products can contribute to ecosystems positively, they can cause negative envi- ronmental impacts throughout their life cycles, from obtaining raw material, production, and use, to end of life. It is reported that most negative environmental impacts are decided at early design phases, which suggests that the determination of product sustainability should be considered as early as possible, such as during the conceptual design stage, when it is still possible to modify the design concept. However, most of the existing concept evaluation methods or tools are focused on assessing the feasibility or creativity of the concepts generated, lacking the measurements of sustainability of concepts. The paper explores key factors related to sustainable design with regard to environmental impacts, and describes a set of objective measures of sustainable product design concept evaluation, namely, material, production, use, and end of life. The rationales of the four metrics are discussed, with corresponding measurements. A case study is conducted to demonstrate the use and effectiveness of the metrics for evaluating product design concepts. The paper is the first study to explore the measurement of product design sustainability focusing on the conceptual design stage.

  • Eco-Designing the Use Phase of Products in Sustainable Manufacturing: the Importance of Maintenance and Communication-To-User Strategies
    Eco-designing the use phase of products in sustainable manufacturing: the importance of maintenance and communication-to-user strategies Esther Sanyé-Mengual, Paula Pérez-López, Sara González-García, Raul Garcia Lozano, Gumersindo Feijoo, Maria Teresa Moreira, Xavier Gabarrell, Joan Rieradevall Address Correspondence to: Esther Sanyé Mengual, [email protected] Sostenipra (ICTA-IRTA-Inèdit) – Institute of Environmental Science and Technology (ICTA), Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB), Campus de la UAB s/n, 08193, Bellaterra (Barcelona), Spain Abstract Recently, principles in sustainable manufacturing have included the Design for the Environment (DfE) methodology with the objective of improving the environmental performance of products over their entire lifecycles. Current EU Directives on eco- design focus on the use phase of Energy-related-Products (ErPs). However, the maintenance of various household non-ERPs is performed with ErPs; therefore, the environmental impacts of product maintenance have an important role in the lifecycle of non-ErPs. This article presents two eco-design studies where the implementation of improvement strategies for the use and maintenance phase of products had relevant results. Moreover, environmental communication-to-user strategies were important to ensure the commitment of users towards eco-efficient behaviors. First, a knife was eco- 1 designed according to strategies focused on materials, processing, maintenance and communication-to-user. By applying eco-design in a cradle-to-consumer scope, improvements in environmental impact of the eco-designed product accounts for 30%. However, when accounting for eco-design of the product’s entire lifecycle, environmental impacts could be reduced by up to 40% and even up to ≈93% (depending on the cleaning procedure), due to large improvements in maintenance strategies.
