Abstract:
Despite the broad application and usefulness of patterns in many application areas, there is still a lack of information on how patterns are generated. In this paper, we introduce a step-by-step guidance for generating patterns in the domain of human-computer interaction (HCI). With our guidance, we support researchers in structuring and presenting gathered empirical knowledge for special contexts (automotive, home, mobile). By means of the pattern generation guidance, we support researchers without previous expertise in pattern generation to make their insights available for other HCI researchers. Furthermore, our approach enhances the pattern generation process towards more traceable and comparable patterns.
