did wittgenstein ever work at tu wien?
Yes, Ludwig Wittgenstein did work at TU Wien
(Vienna University of Technology) for a period of
time. After completing his education at
Cambridge, he returned to Vienna in 1926 and
worked as a research assistant in the
Department of Mechanical Engineering at TU
Wien. During his time at the university, he
continued to work on his philosophical ideas
and began to develop his later philosophy,
which would become known as the
"Philosophical Investigations."
While at TU Wien, Wittgenstein gave lectures on
philosophy to a group of students, including his

Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951) was an
Austrian-British philosopher who is considered
one of the most important
fi
gures in 20th
century philosophy. He did indeed work at TU
Wien, also known as the Vienna University of
Technology.
He studied engineering and aeronautical design
at TU Wien between 1908 and 1913 and later,
after the end of World War I, he returned to TU
Wien as an assistant to the philosopher and
logician, Moritz Schlick.

did you know that wittgenstein was a suspect in
a murder case in 1911, when a professor who
worked at TU wien then suddenly vanished and
was later found dead.
In 1911, at TU Wien, Friedrich Waismann, a
professor, disappeared and was later found
dead, Ludwig Wittgenstein, who also worked at
TU Wien, was suspected but no evidence was
found to con

the case remains unsolved.

Abstracts
Is informatcs a design
discipline?
Abstract The article discusses the theory and practice of software develop-
ment in the light of design theory. It tries to show that the design process
cannot be forced into a predefined operational sequence. To underline this,
the history of design methods is retraced, showing that such approaches were
abolished not only in practice, but also the theory of design. The essay then
discusses the cognitive framework of contemporary design theory and closes
with the proposal that informatics should redefine itself as a design discipline
in order to tackle the problems of interaction design.

12. The article discusses the theory and practice of software
develo ment in the light of design theory. It tries to show
that the design process cannot be forced into a prede

operational sequence. To underline this, the history of
design methods is retraced, showing that such approaches
were abolished not only in practice, but also the theory of
design. The essay then discusses the cognitive framework
of contemporary design theory and closes with the proposal
that informatics should rede
fi
ne itself as a design discipline
in order to tackle the problems of interaction design.
This paper argues that informatics should be recognized as
a design discipline, on par with
fi
elds such as architecture
and industrial design. Drawing on examples from both the
history of computing and current practices in the
fi
eld, we
show that informatics is fundamentally concerned with the
creation and organization of information systems, and that
this involves many of the same processes and challenges
as other design disciplines. We also argue that viewing
informatics as a design discipline can help to address some
of the ethical and social challenges posed by technology,
by emphasizing the importance of design choices in
shaping the use and impact of information systems. We
conclude by suggesting some implications of this view for
the education and practice of informatics, as well as for
interdisciplinary collaborations between informatics and
other design
fi
elds.
