Abstract
We present a pattern-based software lifecycle and a method that supports the systematic execution of that lifecycle. First, problem frames are used to develop a formal specification of the problem to be solved. In a second phase, architectural styles are used to construct an architectural specification of the software system to be developed. That specification forms the basis for fine-grained design and implementation.
