Patterns-Based Engineering: Successfully Delivering Solutions via Patterns

Chapter 2. Examples of Pattern Implementations

In this chapter we look at examples of pattern implementations. When working with PBE, we work with both pattern specifications and pattern implementations. However, practitioners are usually more familiar with pattern specifications. So although pattern implementations are just one part of PBE, we focus on them, as not only are they a new concept; they are a critically important part of PBE. Being able to create an automated version of our patterns increases the impact we can have with our patterns and significantly affects our productivity, our ability to consistently apply patterns, and the quality of the resulting solutions.

We will familiarize ourselves with the different types of pattern ...
