I find I am in the same camp as David (which is good because he is a
visiting researcher at Coventry). I think much depends on your
interests. I have conducted much research in computer science and my

competence in production, technique, or know how. So there is no common
notion of research and each discipline has to decide what is important
to it. I think that its is important that design research provides
knowledge that helps designers to be better designers.
