Hi everybody,
I spot some issues of terminology. The issue I conceptualize is about
several terms and their usage: design, planning, engineering. Because we
are a very broad community, it is quite possible that colleagues of
different background use them differently. I myself use them
interchangeably in some situations, while in other situations I go more
specific and differentiate them.
One possible tread for future discussion can be the clarification of these
terms as well as other major terms related to them. It looks that this can
also provide a common ground for understanding what are we talking about
and what are the objects and subjects (subject as an aspect, not an
informer) of our studies.
Regards,
Lubomir
