Collaborative applications provide a group of users with the facility to communicate and share data in a coordinate way. In this paper we propose a pattern system to design the basic aspects of data sharing, communication, and coordination for collaborative applications. These patterns are useful for the design and development of collaborative applications as well as for the development of plat...

Fault containment is an important constituent of fault tolerance. Means for fault containment allow a system to limit the impact of manifested faults to some predefined system boundaries. This document presents some of the best known techniques for fault containment formatted as design patterns. These patterns are elicited from the areas of self-stabilization, specification closure and fault to...

We present in this paper a set of design patterns we have mined in the area of Voice User Interfaces (VUI). In a previous paper [14], we introduced several patterns regarding fundamental issues of developing a voice application. In this paper we explore further aspects concerning the internal structure of an audio interface, the construction of the interaction style, the system response archite...

In model-driven engineering, most problems are solved using model transformation. However, the development of a model transformation for a specific problem is still a hard task. The main reason for that is the lack of a development process where transformations must be designed before implemented. As in object-oriented programming, design patterns can benefit “good design” of model transformati...

Engineering competence and the digitization of all processes along product development process are highly decisive for today’s success industrial companies. The design is very individual strongly based on engineers’ experience. Part this knowledge result approach fixated in existing variations generations, but difficult to extract formalize. Conclusions about design-related patterns between pro...

Refactoring is a well-known process to improve the code design of object-oriented programs. Recently, several literatures focus on refactoring with introducing design patterns that are general repeated solutions to common problems in software design. For making it easy to perform such refactoring, a lot of refactoring patterns are proposed. Each refactoring pattern includes a description of ref...

Anti-patterns are motifs that are usually thought to be good solutions to some design or implementation problems, but back-fires badly when applied. Previous studies have reported that anti-patterns make object oriented systems hard to maintain. Anti-patterns motifs usually have dependencies with other classes in the system. In this paper, we propose to analyse these dependencies (with in parti...
