Technical Review of my Book Innovative Design Thinking Approaches in Software Engineering
The book Innovative Design Thinking Approaches in Software Engineering (IGI Global, 2025), which I had the privilege of authoring, editing, and coordinating alongside Dr. Carolina Tripp-Barba, addresses a pressing need in contemporary software development: rethinking engineering methodologies to prioritize empathy, creativity, and human value. Through a collection of eight original chapters written by an international and interdisciplinary group of researchers, the volume presents a multi-faceted view of how Design Thinking can reshape software engineering processes in both theory and practice. Among the key contributions of this work are: The formalization of the FusionFlow model , a methodology that blends Design Thinking, Artificial Intelligence, and Agile practices to enable iterative, user-driven, and adaptive software development (Chapter 3). The application of Legal Design Thinking (LDT) to improve legal technology tools by enhancing usability, ethics, and ac...
