aIRPLane
Christine E. Wania, Michael E. Atwood · 2007
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.
