are human-computer interaction design patterns really used?
This paper describes the outcoming of an online survey which focuses on the usage of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) design patterns. The results should clarify if HCI patterns are currently used in academic and especially in industrial environments. Furthermore, we want to investigate the shortcomings of the design pattern concept from the users point of view. The results are incorporated in the design of an formalized HCI design pattern structure.
