Nigel Cross is a British academic, a design researcher and educator, Emeritus Professor of Design Studies at The Open University, United Kingdom,〔(personal university website at: http://www9.open.ac.uk/mct/people/nigel.cross )〕 and Editor-in-Chief of the journal (''Design Studies )''. He is one of the key people of the Design Research Society. ==Research== Nigel Cross began his design research in the 1960s with studies of "simulated" computer-aided design systems where the purported simulator was actually a human operator, using text and graphical communication via CCTV. Cross later referred to this as a kind of Reverse Turing test;〔Cross, N (2001) "Can a Machine Design?", ''Design Issues'', Vol. 17, No.41, pp. 44-50.〕 in interaction design this kind of study later became known as a Wizard of Oz experiment. He also applied early forms of protocol analysis to these experiments. His PhD on ‘Human and Machine Roles in Computer Aided Design’ was expanded into the book ''The Automated Architect'' (1977), which was critical of some of the computer-aided architectural design work of that time. In 1971, Cross co-organised the first major conference of the Design Research Society (DRS), on Design Participation. He continued to play significant roles in DRS, and since 2006 has been its President. Early interests in design methods led to an edited book of foundational papers, ''Developments in Design Methodology'' (1984) and a textbook of ''Engineering Design Methods'' (1989, now in a 4th edition). Subsequently his research interests turned more to design cognition or design thinking. In 1991 Cross established, with colleagues at Delft University of Technology, the international series of (Design Thinking Research Symposia (DTRS) ). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nigel Cross」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
