Pattern Experience Chart Generator function on a pattern language platform Patterns We Live By

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a function "Pattern Experience Chart Generator" necessary to realize the aim of the Pattern Language Platform "Patterns We Live By", which is a web application that supporting the "practice" of patterns by ensuring that they are always accessible. This function contributes to the long-term cycle of pattern practice. This function is the ability to generate a pattern experience chart that visualizes which patterns the user is practicing, not practicing and wants to practice. It will make the user aware of what patterns they should utilize by looking at the pattern experience chart, as well as showing the resulting growth by regenerating the chart after a certain period. By using the information obtained through this function as hints, we believe the user will become able to continuously and concretely design their "practice" through patterns.
