Abstract:
Findings from scientific disciplines with close ties to the industry – such as Human-Computer Interaction – can be useful for advancing both the scientific discipline itself as well as the associated industry. It is, therefore, an additional challenge to consolidate and convert the scientific knowledge gained into a format of which is applicable and understandable in practice in order to provide meaningful and usable tools for practitioners in their daily work routines. We used patterns to combine research results and industry know-how into solutions for distraction-related design problems in the automotive domain. In this paper, we present our pattern generation process that resulted in the creation of 16 patterns with input from scientists, as well as industrial stakeholders, in several key phases. Thereby, we discuss the advantages of patterns as a means to put scientific knowledge into practice. The contribution of this paper is a pattern generation and validation process, together with an accompanying pattern structure tailored towards combining scientific results and industry knowledge that resulted from this process.
