Pattern papers

Some words

This paper presents an approach for arranging, allocating and interchanging the gain in knowledge and experience during projects of the Ambient Assited Living (AAL) sector and related domains. The know how about age-based interaction techniques, target-group specific requirements and medical care is transcribed into design-patterns, whose concept has proven effectiveness in versatile areas. A framework for specifying pattern-structures that meet the specific requirements of this area is defined.

Papers on applying patterns

Fundamental banking patterns are the system (pattern language) of 24 analysis patterns for banking software systems. The paper extends the previous paper on this topic and describes application of these patterns in real-world software systems. The systems include a core banking system, a branch teller system, two bank card systems, an integrated customer view system, and a loan workflow system. Each of these systems uses specific banking patterns and pattern sequences. It depends both on a subdomain which the system automates and individual features of the system.

The Design Patterns for Communication Components is a collection of patterns related with a method for developing the communication sub-systems of parallel software systems. These design patterns take as input information (a) the architectural pattern of the overall parallel software system, (b) the memory organization of the parallel hardware platform, and (c) the type of synchronization required. In this paper, it is presented the application of the design patterns along with the method for communicating the CSE components of the One-dimensional Heat Equation. The method used here takes the information from the Problem Analysis and Coordination Design, selects a Design Pattern for the communication components, and provides elements about its implementation.

The Architectural Patterns for Parallel Programming is a collection of patterns related with a method for developing the coordination of parallel software systems. These architectural patterns take as input information (a) the available parallel hardware platform, (b) the parallel programming language of this platform, and (c) the analysis of the problem to solve, in terms of an algorithm and data. In this paper, it is presented the application of the architectural patterns along with the method for developing a coordination for solving an Hypercube Sorting. The method used here takes the information from the problem analysis, proposes an architectural pattern for the coordination, and provides some elements about its implementation.
