Appropriating Patterns for the Activity Theory Toolkit
E. Guy. Proceedings of ATIT 2004, The First International Workshop on Activity Theory Based Practical Methods for IT Design, page 33-48. Copenhagen, Denmark, Published as DAIMI report, University of Aarhus, (2004)
Abstract
This paper investigates a method for modelling computersupported
cooperative work, to provide a common
language for users and developers collaborating in design.
The research is grounded in an empirical study of the inhouse
development of groupware and the work practice of
system developers. Through an appropriation of
Christopher Alexander’s architectural pattern language, it
is proposed that patterns have the potential to be a
practicable tool that both embodies the principles and
methodology of activity theory, and fits the requirements of
this design process.
