Abstract
We try to generate something new by interrogating ourselves on the notion of design science and on the notions derived during designing the design science. At the very beginning of designing, we introduce the notion of designing as an activity of constructing a new system. Then, first, we generate a hypothetical model of such a constructive process as repetitions of the cycles of synthesis (or, generation), analysis, and focusing towards a preferred situation. Second, we analyze the model with reference to processes of making artifacts. Third, on the basis of the analysis, we give ourselves the direction to the sophistication of the model and introduce the variables that should complement the model. We repeat the loop of the first, the second, and the third. As implied above, we design the model of the constructive process and apply the model to our activity of designing the model.
