Genre potentialities for interactive applications design and acceptation

摘要

In this paper, we propose to provide interactive applications designers with an approach that enhances the notion of Genre through design process, evaluation and acceptation of interactive applications. We firstly present a brief introduction of the Genre dimension. Then, we propose a Genre-based taxonomy of interactive applications, a model of Genre, a catalogue of patterns and a Genre-based chart as potential artefacts that enable consideration of Genre through design process. Finally, we expose the contribution of Genre in evaluation and acceptation processes.
