aIRPLane: an information retrieval pattern language

Interaction patterns and pattern languages have been discussed for years in HCI literature yet there have been few empirical studies conducted. We describe aIRPLane: An Information Retrieval Pattern Language, its discovery, and the experimental design we use to examine its impact on the design of information retrieval interfaces. The results of a pattern sorting exercise are the focus of this paper. Keywords Interaction patterns, pattern language, interaction design, design patterns ACM Classification Keywords
