Abstract

We brought together the creators of seven Internet of Things design methods for a collaborative landscaping exercise of these design methods. Together, the creators tried out all of these IoT design methods and located them on a design process model. A visual analysis of this landscaping exercise reveals large discrepancies between the application area the original creators of each IoT design method had in mind, and the understanding of most other experts. We subsequently argue that the design research community can benefit from collaborative approaches towards understanding each other's methods. We conclude that the design research community can benefit from more appropriate mappings when choosing the most appropriate IoT design method for a particular task within a specific context.
