- Abstract
- Many conflicts over specific technologies could be alleviated
by focusing attention on the design stage and by encouraging communication
between designers and users. We present two approaches to achieving
these goals. The first, pattern languages, provides a common language for designers and users. The second,
component designs, allows technologies themselves to serve as a shared workspace
for designers and users.
