TL;DR
The basic assumptions behind Simon’s approach to design are revisited, notably the central concept of “illstructured problem,” and some ideas are introduced that could lead to an alternative conceptual framework for thinking about design problems.

Reviews of the state of the professional practice in Requirements Engineering stress that the RE process is both complex and hard to describe, and suggest there is a significant difference between competent and "approved" practice.

A critically analyse of this model of designing, looking at designing as a process in which the concepts of function, behaviour and structure of artefacts play a central role, and shows that one can distinguish at least two different versions of the model.
KybernetesThe dynamics of design
6 Citations2007Natalie Ebenreuter
The argument that a cybernetic framework will enable designers to act as an observer and participant in the process of designing is developed and the dynamic nature of the design process is discussed to better understand how these aspects impact on a designer's ability to act effectively in design.
