Pattern language and HCI

Abstract

Pattern Language (PL) has been researched and developed in HCI research since the mid-80s. Our research was initiated by the question why something like PL can create such enthusiasm and interest over the years, while at the same time not be more widespread and successful? In this paper, we examine the experiences and expectations that HCI researchers who have been involved in PL research have had and still have when it comes to PL. Based on the literature review and interview studies, we provide some overall reflections and several possible directions on the use of PL in HCI.

Participatory Collaboration Mapping of Design-Enabled Urban Innovations: The MappingDESIGNSCAPES Case

“…Related design pattern languages to draw inspiration from can be found in theHuman-Computer Interaction tradition, e.g. [37], [38]. Although helpful, these are not sufficient to capture the societal dimensions, such as problem domain and design contexts, that need to be considered when scaling up collaborations towards real collective impact.…”

Que os padrões estejam com você! Um arcabouço para o desenvolvimento de padrões de design de IHC

“…Apesar da atenc ¸ão dedicada ao tema nas últimas duas décadas, poucos estudos foram realizados com o objetivo de rastrear a evoluc ¸ão dos padrões de design de interac ¸ão e, consequentemente, entender como esse conceito está sendo utilizado na comunidade de IHC. Evidências apontam para baixas taxas de adoc ¸ão em projetos reais [Dearden andFinlay 2006, Pan andStolterman 2013], embora a técnica tenha sido considerada de interesse pela comunidade científica [Kruschitz and Hitz 2010]. Apesar da aparente baixa taxa de utilizac ¸ão de padrões de interac ¸ão, poucos estudos foram encontrados visando compreender, formalizar e aprimorar o processo de desenvolvimento de padrões em IHC.…”
