Patterns in Human Computer Interaction
Call for Papers
Patterns have attained a wide spread success in software engineering, in
particular in the Object Oriented developments. In HCI patterns have yet to
take root, although CHI 97, 2000 and INTERACT 99 workshops demonstrated
considerable interest in this area. Some UI patterns are already ubiquitous,
e.g. windows, dialogue boxes, palettes, etc. that constitute familiar
components in look and feel de facto standards such as MS Windows and Apple
Mac. Patterns may also exist in conversations, tasks, and interactive
functions (e.g. Interactors and undo models). However no framework of HCI
patterns has emerged and further research is necessary if HCI is to catch up
with software engineering and adopt reuse (via patterns) as an important
mode of development.
This workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners who have
interests in, or experience of, design and using patterns in interactive
systems
development.
Submissions
We invite submissions on, but not limited to, the following topics:
Frameworks for patterns in HCI, architectures
Models, schema or ontologies for user interface patterns
Examples of UI patterns, with their application in reuse
Patterns for different purposes: interactive functions, task support,
information presentation, conversation, discourse and social interaction
Process models and methods of pattern oriented UI development
Experience of developing and applying patterns in industry
Support tools for UI pattern oriented development
Evaluation and assessment techniques for patterns
Position papers should describe the problem addressed and the nature of the
contribution (e.g. theory, method, pattern exemplars, tool, experience).
Deadlines
Position papers/extended abstracts (3-5 pages circa 1000 words) in ASCII
text, RTF or Word should be sent to the address below, preferably by email
by September 21st 2000
Notification of acceptance will be sent by October 13th 2000

The workshop is planned as a one day meeting followed by a 1 day workshop
(on 17th November) at University College, London. The workshop will be
organised to encourage discussion of the research issues, although it is not
intended to validate and refine specific UI patterns in the typical Plop
Patterns workshop manner. The first day format will consist of short
presentations arranged in 3-4 'panels' according to themes which emerge
from submitted position papers. Each panel will have approximately 4 short
presentations followed by 30 minutes discussion. The second day will develop
themes arising from the first day. We intend to develop a journal special
issue from the workshop submissions.
