Patterns: What's in it for HCI?

Design patterns and pattern languages have proven a useful tool to model design experience, in architecture where they were originally conceived as well as in software engineering. In Human-Computer Interaction, the interest in pattern languages has only recently gained momentum. This panel will explore how pattern languages can be of use to HCI researchers, practitioners, and possibly anyone involved in the design and use of interactive systems. Copyright © 2012 ACM, Inc.
