Hits: 344
Description: This paper firstly surveys the search for Patterns and Pattern Languages (PL) in HCI, and examines some of the problems that the search has encountered. Secondly, some aspects of the Cognitive Dimensions (CD) framework are examined and the author suggests that there may be a relationship between the two endeavors, to the probable enhancement of the pattern endeavor and the possible enhancement of the expression of the CD framework.
