4. Myths About Design: It’s just about art
“Design is not just
what it looks like and
feels like. Design is
how it works.” - Steve
Jobs
(http://uxmyths.com)
17. Information Processing in Design
● The existing computer systems are far from
ideal as design support systems
● Often Companies suffer from the brain
drain
● Designs and products are protected
intellectual properties, but not the ideas
21. Information Gathering in Design
● The notion of ”relevance” is still at the
center of information retrieval research
(Baeza-Yates and Ribeiro-Neto, 1999).
● An Information Retrieval Systems approach
is needed to understand how to provide the
search and retrieval capabilities needed by
users (Kowalski, 2011)
22. Information Gathering in Design
● The designers wanted to have a needed
information, not a correct or relevant ones.
● Filtering, classification, indexing are just
not inline with designers’ nature
28. Concluding Remarks
● Design is a vast and reliable area for
IT/IS/SE/CS testbed
● Design covers all information systems
components as per definition (People,
Network and Communication, Software,
Hardware, and Data) ranged from social
‘til engineering

30. M. I. Jambak’s Short Bio
Muhammad Ikhwan ’Iwan’ Jambak was born in Palembang, Indonesia on September 08,
1969. He finished secondary school in 1988, and studied Chemical Engineering at
Sriwijaya University. Despite doing research in chemical labs as traditionally has been
done by other students, he did a computer simulation of level control for his research
that became the first ever chemical engineering research at the faculty using computers
in the early 90’s. He graduated with his Bachelor of Engineering degree in 1993.
Thereafter, he became a computer programmer in industry for several years before he
went to Malaysia to finish his Master’s of Engineering in the field of Computer Integrated
Manufacturing (CIM) at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia and focus on Information
Architecture. While he was finishing his master’s thesis, he applied research positions at
some universities. He was called for interview at TU Delft and Twente University in
Holland, as well as Karlsruhe University in Germany, and ETH Zurich in Switzerlands. He
presented his research work and was accepted as an Assistent in Opleiding (AIO) at the
Faculty of Industrial Design Engineering, TU Delft in March 2000. In October 2000 he
became a member of the Integrated Conceptual Advancement (ICA) project. He was
assigned to explore new kinds of modeling entities called the nucleus. In mid 2002, he
moved and focused more on contextual design information retrieval in the early phase of
design. Prior to defense his thesis, he was invited to be a member of the special interest
group, ”Design Creativity” for the Design Society. Now he is also a member of Production
and Operations Management Society and a reviewer of International Journal of
Production Research. Beside interested in information and knowledge management, he
interested in the application of soft computing in manufacturing and computer in
education.
