Anbei ein Posting aus der infodesign-cafe-mailingliste von ben hyde über eine top-10-Aufstellung von sites mit fokus auf information-architecture und interaction design von taskZ.com. Comments sind schon mit dabei und das ist auch gut so. Vielleicht interessiert das eine oder andere, hatte selber noch keine Zeit die Inhalte auf Glaubwürdigkeiten zu überprüfen.

Gruß

> ART, SCIENCE, AND MAGIC: WHAT REALLY HAPPENS DURING USER-CENTERED DESIGN?
> by Carol Righi, Ph.D.
> One of the great debates in user-centered design (UCD) centers on whether
UCD
is an art or a science. If one were to examine the research literature on how
concepts are formed, some surprising insights emerge with respect to this important dilemma. A primary concept from this area of research is "subsumption." Can the concept of subsumption be helpful in resolving the "art
vs. science" question for UCD? The answer is, well...maybe!
