Aims & Scope

The Journal of Integrated Design and Process Science (JIDPS) is the official journal of the Society for Design and Process Science (SDPS). This journal publishes research findings covering transdisciplinary notions of design and process with a focus on issues that deal with 1) understanding of design and process crossing boundaries of natural, human, and built environments, 2) principles, methods, and tools, and 3) applications of design and process science to engineering, healthcare and social problems. The journal serves to promote research of transdisciplinary design and process science from multiple disciplines such as mathematics, computer science, economics, engineering, management science, natural sciences, social sciences, and health science.

Knowledge production, sharing, and design in an age of fundamental transformations

Knowledge is a central constituent of the societal infrastructure. Knowledge is produced, interchanged, represented, and used for different purposes. In societies, where tangible or intangible artifacts are essential elements of the interaction of humans with the environment, knowledge is a central piece of the reasoning and realization mechanisms of artifacts. In turn, those artifacts can become a source of knowledge production. It is not a human specificity to produce, share, use, or transmit knowledge. Several studies have demonstrated that species such as whales enjoy this capability too (Whitehead et al., 2021). This means that producing and sharing knowledge is associated with social interactions both for humans and whales’ groups. On the contrary, social interactions of extremely large groups and the capacity to interact and collaborate with distant, unknown fellows is probably a human specificity. This collaboration implies the sharing of knowledge in a format ensuring diffusion and interchange. But what is happening when a new phenomenon such as knowledge produced by machines can become a reality? Is this extended collaboration remaining human specificity?
