Written via well-respected specialists, this how-to advisor offers styles for the layout of human desktop human interplay (HCHI). progressively more functions are presently designed to be used through multiple consumer, eg: multi-player video games, interactive websites, cellphones, collaborative studying platforms, interactive workspaces and shrewdpermanent environments. In those parts there's a shift from (HCI) human desktop interplay to (HCHI) human machine human interplay. The position of styles during this circulate is twofold: 1st – styles specialize in the human consumer of the method; 2d – styles help builders within the improvement means of groupware purposes.

Basically, it is an analogy to physics, where one can find numerous forces that interact in space and act in combination to shape the behavior of space. 23 24 Chapter 2 From Patterns to a Pattern-Oriented Development Process Consider the example of air flight: why do airplanes fly? This question can only be answered if we look at least at three interacting forces: — The gravity that causes the plane to move towards the ground — The change of speed caused by drag or acceleration that is created by the air slowing the airplane down or by the engines speeding the airplane up — The lift that is created by the shape of the wing that keeps the plane in the air If these forces are unbalanced, the plane will in the worst case fall to the ground.
The level of wholeness of any given solution space can be understood as the strength of the centers that can be found in the space. According to Alexander, all design activities should focus on improving wholeness. While for Alexander, wholeness is always bound to spatial structures, we consider it as applicable to any structure regardless of its spatial properties. 1 Patterns and Pattern Languages the elements. This is why we consider the concept of wholeness applicable for socio-technical systems (like groupware) as well.
The cable stops the aircraft after a few hundred feet. What this example shows is that a change to, or the insertion of an artifact in, the space occupied by the forces re-balances their interaction. Depending on the problem (for example the problem of landing large planes at low speed without crashing), different strategies for changing the artifacts in space are appropriate to a greater or lesser degree. Experts know how to play with the various forces in their area of expertise. An experienced pilot knows what to do with the wings and the engines of the airplane in order to move the plane in the air, while a pilot of a military aircraft knows how to approach the aircraft carrier.
