We introduce a handful of software design patterns for functional logic languages. Following usual approaches, for each pattern we propose a name and we describe its intent, applicability, structure, consequences, etc. Our patterns deal with data type construction, identifier declarations, mappings, search, nondeterminism and other fundamental aspects of the design and implementation of program...

In the context of constraint programming search algorithms are normally implemented as monolithic units, which often are complex and error prone, hard to understand and to extend. That holds even for object-oriented state-of-the-art constraint solvers, although the paradigm of object-oriented programming offers various techniques which encourage abstraction, flexibility and code reuse. We apply...

Recommendation Systems for Software Engineering are created for a variety of purposes, such as recommending sample code or to call attention to bad coding practices (code smells). We have created a system to recommend the use of design patterns. While many programmers have knowledge of design patterns, whether rushed to meet deadlines, inexperienced in their implementations, or unaware of a par...

Design Patterns provide a \higher-level" view of interactions among collections of objects. They are a response to a common problem in large, object-oriented systems: there is no explicit representation of the patterns of activity of collections of objects. Wrappings are a Knowledge-Based integration infrastructure for constructing complex software systems, that we have developed over several y...

Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) architectures are gaining popularity over traditional ones for building open, distributed, and evolving software required by today’s corporate IT applications such as eBusiness systems, web services or enterprise knowledge bases. Since the fundamental concepts of multi-agent systems are social and intentional rather than object, functional, or implementation-oriented, ...

ABSTRACT The aim of this work is to come up with a set of design patterns for discourse support systems. On the basis of the analysis carried out on various systems, the subsequent diagrams developed may be used for the development of discourse support systems.

A design pattern encapsulates the knowledge of object-oriented designers into re-usable artifacts. A design pattern is a descriptive device that fosters software design re-use. There are several reasons why design patterns are not used as generative constructs that support code re-use. The first reason is that design patterns describe a set of solutions to a family of related design problems an...

Design pattern is a term of the abstraction from a concrete form that keeps recurring in specific non-arbitrary contexts. Design Patterns are devices that allow programs to share knowledge about their designs. It seems that the benefits of design pattern are so obvious. However, design pattern is so complicated that it makes the software even more difficult to be maintained. In this report, we ...
