The process to identify, author, and apply patterns is mostly performed manually by pattern experts. When performing pattern research in large domains involving many persons, the current state of the art of pattern research techniques, such as shepherding and writers’ workshops, should be extended to a larger organizational process coordinating the work of all involved participants. This paper presents the process we followed to identify, author, and apply patterns in various domains involving multiple industry partners. Due to the diversity of these domains, we claim that the process is general enough to be applicable in other domains as well. This paper documents this process for use, discussion, further refinement, and evaluation in a larger pattern research community.
