2002

Panel at CASCON 2002

This was a panel on UI patterns with Martijn van Welie, Kevin Mullet, Paul McInerney, and Jan Borchers, at the CASCON 2002 IBM Center for Advanced Studies Conference (Toronto, Sep 30-Oct 3, 2002). It was part of the conference workshop UI Patterns: Should Experienced UI Designers Be Using Them?, described below:

"This workshop will involve pioneers of the UI pattern community. They will describe their successes/experiences in industrial projects and discuss their outlook for more widespread adoption of patterns. This workshop will expose experienced UI designers to the UI pattern approach and help them decide if or how they should be starting to use or write patterns. Practical aspects of patterns will be addressed such as: (1) challenges in capturing (as a writer and reader) the essence of a design solution, (2) how the current pattern collects rate in terms of breadth and depth, and (3) how you (i.e., experienced UI designers) can start writing patterns."

Here are the workshop presentation slides by Paul McInerney (moderator), Jan Borchers, Martijn van Welie, and Kevin Mullet.

CSCW 2002 Workshop

John Thomas was co-organizing a one-day workshop on socio-technical pattern languages during CSCW 2002 in New Orleans (Nov 16-20, 2002). Details are at the conference workshop page.

CHI 2002 Workshop

Patterns in Practice: A Workshop for UI Designers

This one-day workshop focused on how UI designers are using patterns today. The scope included the two overlapping areas of concern to design practitioners: (1) writing valid and useful patterns and (2) using patterns effectively in a design assignment. With input from particpants, four or five specific aspects of this topic have be discussed. Candidate discussion topics and activities included: 1) workshop one or more patterns, 2) write a pattern during the workshop, 3) identify new patterns, 4) discuss pattern set organization, 5) critique a particular pattern collection, 6) critique patterns on the same topic from several collections, 7) discuss experiences selecting and applying particular patterns, and 8) discuss introducing a pattern approach to design teams.

1999

INTERACT'99 Workshop

Together with Richard Griffiths and Lyn Pemberton from the University of Brighton, Jan Borchers organized a workshop about "Usability Pattern Language" at INTERACT'99. This was the seventh IFIP Conference on Human-Computer Interaction, taking place in Edinburgh, Scotland, from 30 August - 3 September, 1999. The workshop discussed the idea of using pattern languages for recording and disseminating good practice in usability design, and it helped building a community of HCI design pattern practitioners.

The call for participation is online for historical purposes.

Jan Borchers workshop position paper was called "Interdisciplinary Design Patterns", and it includes a full-scale HCI pattern "Incremental Revealing" in Alexandrian format.

New: A workshop report has been submitted for publication in a Special Issue of AI & Society, Springer Verlag, 2001. Please contact Jan Borchers for a preprint.
