Abstract
Mobile application development is a challenging task for the software companies due to complicated technological and business environments. Patterns have been recognised to be a valuable tool in software development, for they allow design experiences and solutions to be documented systematically and facilitate the communication of design issues. Patterns can be seen as a part of organisational memory, a means to preserve the design knowledge and enable its reuse in later products and projects. In this paper we study how the design patterns can support organisational memory in mobile application design. We present the utilisation of patterns as a dynamic process and analyse their relationship and suitability to the process of organisational memory. As a result, we present a framework, which can be used for supporting and evaluation of patterns as a means for storing organisational memory in software companies.
