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.

The turn to practice in HCI: towards a research agenda
CHI '14: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

This paper argues that a new paradigm for HCI research, which we label the 'practice' perspective, has been emerging in recent years. This stands in contrast to the prevailing mainstream HCI paradigm, which we term the 'interaction' perspective. The '...
Developing pattern languages: new ways of communicating naturalistic insights for system development and evaluation
NDM'09: Proceedings of the 9th Bi-annual international conference on Naturalistic Decision Making

Motivation - The Naturalistic Decision Making (NDM) community benefits from having its insights used in software development projects. Research approach - We are investigating the pattern form as a way to incorporate findings from naturalistic research ...
Towards Informed Practice in HCI for Development

Our paper provides an enriched understanding of the relationship between research and practice through the study of practitioners variously engaged in field research on technology interventions in the context of global development. By conducting a ...
