Chapter 4. UML-F tags for framework construction principles and patterns

This chapter explores how to build and adapt object-oriented frameworks – that is, it presents the framework construction principles and patterns, and introduces the corresponding UML-F tags. What we call the construction principles of frameworks are independent of specific domains. Building frameworks by combining the basic object-oriented language constructs proves to be quite straightforward. However, this does not imply that frameworks are straightforward to develop. Instead, building such artefacts requires a thorough domain understanding. Good frameworks typically result from a tedious, iterative development process in which the interaction between software engineers ...
