That's right Diane, I can see the problem with terminology. What I learned is that, usually the right definition for a term is actually the most popular definition. This is something that we also should think about, may be we can start the discussion with the title "emerging design" and then the new definition can lead us to a better term. Thanks a lot for your valuable contribution. Bijan On Fri, Jun 13, 2014 at 3:33 PM, Nijs, Diane <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Dear Bijan, > > As you write: we are at a turning point.
