FUNDAMENTAL QUESTIONS OF HTI DESIGN AND DESIGN ONTOLOGIES -A METASCIENTIFIC ANALYSIS
Abstract HTI design research is characterized by three basic questions: “Can users use artefacts?”, “Do they like to use them?”, and “How do they use them?” Firstly, we show that there is an additional basic issue, which is the relevance of...
