Pattern-oriented knowledge model for architecture design

Abstract

Software design patterns document the most recommended solutions to recurring design problems. Selection of the best design pattern in a given context involves analysis of available alternatives, which is a knowledge-intensive task. Pattern knowledge overload (due to the large number of design patterns) makes such analysis difficult. A knowledge base to generate available alternatives can alleviate the problem. In this paper, we propose a pattern-oriented knowledge model which considers four dimensions of the pattern knowledge space: Pattern to Tactic relationship, Pattern to Pattern relationship, Pattern to Quality-attribute relationship and Pattern to Application-type relationship. We perform analysis of these relationships for patterns in the two popular pattern catalogues viz GoF and POSA1.
