The workshop should become a platform for an interdisciplinary communication between system experts and specialists for human-computer interaction, cognitive science, pattern oriented design and visual analytics.
The main target is to facilitate synergies between different areas of academic research and praxis in order to develop a generic framework of patterns to support analytical processes in coping with complexity. The workshop will create an opportunity to gain insights in dynamic interactions between visualizing and sense constructing techniques, practical application of patterns and cybernetic design.
