3 **RANKING/ validation**
4

6 )))|(((
7 //Provide a notion of the validity (e.g., empirically tested)//
8
9 The ranking should indicate the validity of the patterns premise. It can help the reader to distinguish early pattern ideas from patterns confirmed in practice (Borchers, 2001b).

14 **DESIGN PROBLEM (what)**

18 //Provide a concise description of the intended interaction (effect on the user and/or user interaction with the system and/or other parties).//
19
20 The design problem describes the design problem in terms of the interaction intention. The intention of an interaction can be extracted from the user requirements. For the example of praise (the ePartner shall provide and/or facilitate situated praise) this could be to give the user a feeling of appraisal. If the requirement were about conducting small talk, the interaction intention would be something in line with making the user feel at ease with the ePartner.

25 **CONTEXT (use when…)**

28 )))|(((
29 //Provide a reference to the relevant use case(s) and a list of the contextual characteristics that are significant for the applicability of the pattern.//
30
31 The context describes the characteristics of the tasks, the users, and the environment for which the pattern can be applied. This should provide the designer insight in when the design pattern can be used, and when the design pattern is less suitable
32
33 The use cases already provide the situational factors (e.g., dialogue partner(s), physical and social context, interaction platform, and dialogue context) that influence the design solution (specific embodiment of the dialogue). The design pattern should only list the contextual characteristics that determine in what situation the design solution can be applied.

42 //Provide a description of the essential characteristics of the design solution that express the interaction intention.//
43
44 The design solution provides a concrete description of the solution for the design problem. This encompasses the specific shape of the dialogue by describing what characteristics express the intended interaction within the given context. So what verbal and non-verbal communication should be used, what dialogue rules should be followed etc. Only the core of the solution should be described, references to other relevant patterns can be used.

52 )))|(((
53 //Provide the considered trade-offs and the argumentation that resulted in the chosen design solution.//
54
55 The rationale provides insight in how the design pattern works, why it works and how it is based on underlying principles and mechanisms (Van Welie et al., 2000). It provides a convincing argumentation on the effects of the chosen design solution, including trade-offs. It includes premises that may need empirical validation.

64 //Provide an illustration (eg. picture, screenshot, animated graphic, video etc.) of an implementation of the design solution in a ‘real-life’ application, and include a short explanation describing the context of use.//
65
66 The examples should show successful uses of the pattern (e.g. best practices, as seen on….). It shows how the pattern can manifest itself differently in various ‘real-life’ applications.
67 )))
68 |**RELATED PATTERNS**|(((
69 //Provide the names and/or links of related patterns.//
70
71 Links to any related patterns should be mentioned here. For example, a parent pattern (similar interaction intention, higher in the abstraction hierarchy), sister pattern (similar interaction intention, same abstraction level) and/or other relating patterns (different interaction intention, but in another way related to context and/or product characteristics of the design solution).
