Abstract
Finally we need to look at the future, after we have dealt comprehensively with the past and present in the previous chapters. The “childhood years” of our discipline, in which we are today, already set clear tasks regarding the maturation process of Design Science: completion, unification, homogenization of the available knowledge.
One of the principal objects of theoretical research in any department of knowledge is to find the point of view from which the subject appears in its greatest simplicity. Josiah Willard Gibbs, founder of the geometric approach in classical thermodynamics, 1881
Only an inventor knows how to borrow, and every man is or should be an inventor. Ralph Waldo Emerson
