Summary

What about the future? Some researchers may be more engaged in finding specific solutions to specific problems, concerning interactive systems or their parts, as they relate to one or more user requirements. These researchers might be considered to be more research practice researchers to whom the greater rigour of a framework is more appropriate. Other researchers may be more engaged in designing interactive systems or their parts, as they relate to one or more user requirements. These researchers might be considered to be more design practice researchers to whom the lesser rigour of an approach may be more appropriate.

The main thrust of the book is that the General Framework and the general and specific design research exemplars require both types of research and specify the relations between them, in addition to the relations between approaches and frameworks.
