Topic: Design Paradigms

	Paradigm - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Michel Foucault used the terms episteme and discourse, mathesis and taxinomia, for aspects of a "paradigm" in Kuhn's original sense.
		Read more about this in the paradigm shift, sociology of knowledge and philosophy of science articles, where these words are placed in context.
		A paradigm there would be a sort of prohibition to proceed with any action that would increase the total entropy of the system.

	Interaction design - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Interaction design is a sub-discipline of design which examines the role of embedded behaviors and intelligence in physical and virtual spaces as well as the convergence of physical and digital products.
		While interaction design has a firm foundation in the theory, practice, and methodology of traditional user interface design, its focus is on defining the complex dialogues that occur between people and interactive devices of many types-from computers to mobile communications devices to appliances.
		While interaction designers often work closely with specialists in visual design, information architecture, industrial design, user research, or usability, and may even provide some of these services themselves, their primary focus is on defining interactivity.

		It also surveys the methods used in developing empirical models of design and provides initiatives for learning these methods students are required to examine both the mechanics and the theoretical foundations of these approaches.
		This course seeks to expand on the use of the computer as a means for design and presentation by exploring distance collaboration in a subject area where none exists.
		Topics include: modeling and design, overview of thermal, visual, and acoustical domain knowledge, integration of performance simulation in computer-aided design, introduction to the application of advanced computational building simulation tools, case studies and design assignments on the application of simulation in the evaluation and improvement of building performance.

		The concept of error, according to the author of Design Paradigms, is central to the design process.
		By showing how errors were introduced in the design process and how they might be avoided, the book suggests how better quality and reliability might be achieved in designed devices, structures, and systems of all kinds.

	Design Paradigms and Methodologies for Microfluidics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		An overwhelming number of microfluidic components have been reported in the literature in the past few years, but convincing concepts to integrate those components to a unit performing complex microfluidic operations seem to be quite rare.
		Correspondingly, the design and simulation of droplet-based microfluidic systems poses considerable challenges, and effects such as contact-angle hysteresis can make a well-controlled transport of such droplets quite difficult.
		In this work the current status of the competition between different paradigms in microfluidics is reviewed, and the advantages and disadvantages of the approaches are compared.

	Mastery, Mystery, and Misery: The Ideologies of Web Design (Jakob Nielsen's Alertbox)
		Even designers who believe in user mastery can be tempted to taint their designs with shades of mystery.
		The third prevailing ideology of Web design is oppression, as mainly espoused by certain analysts who wish the Web would turn into television and offer users no real choices at all.
		One of misery design's most insidious recent examples is the idea of embedding links to advertising on the actual words of an article using a service like IntelliTxt.

		The use of VFS to demultiplex file system calls (read, write, open, close) to calls specific to the respective calls of the relevant file system (maybe even NFS) is an example of object oriented design paradigm inside the kernel.
		The OO paradigm is quite often used but is not very obvious.
		Log based file systems (also called as journalling file systems) is an example of a design paradigm common in the Database world which has been applied to the file system world.

		The last two can be considered halfway paradigms. They are organization designs halfway between dominant hierarchy and self management. Co-optive participation is a combination of participative management processes within a bureaucratic structure. It’s the human relations model with participative management. Totalitarian democracy is an organization design that appears democratic in structure with autocratic management processes.
		During the redesign process, it became clear that the source of the problem of inefficient service delivery was a crisis of accountability. The division was structured like this. Each business division had a local human resources manager assigned to it. These managers were responsible and accountable for human resource services.
		Genuine self managing workplaces cannot be designed by force. People don’t learn democracy and empowerment this way.

	Algorithm Design Paradigms
		Although more than one technique may be applicable to a specific problem, it is often the case that an algorithm constructed by one approach is clearly superior to equivalent solutions built using alternative techniques.
		The choice of design paradigm is an important aspect of algorithm synthesis.
		It was observed earlier that one reason for examining algorithmic paradigms was the fact that their running time could often be precisely determined.
