Characterization of Complex Systems Using the Design of Experiments Approach: Transient Protein Expression in Tobacco as a Case Study
Published on: January 31, 2014
Abstract:
Following Herbert Simon's idea of "the sciences of the artificial", one may contrast descriptive sciences and design sciences: the former are concerned with "how things are", the latter tell us "how things ought to be in order to attain goals, and to function". Typical results of design sciences are thus expressions about means--ends relations or technical norms in G. H. von Wright's sense. Theorizing and modeling are important methods of giving a value-free epistemic justification for such technical norms. The values of design sciences are not criteria for the acceptance of theories or models, but rather antecedents of conditional recommendations of actions. Design sciences are thus value-neutral and value-laden at the same time.
