ABSTRACT
Design patterns have made a strong impact on how object-oriented software is designed, implemented, and communicated in industrial projects. Teaching patterns is therefore of great importance. Patterns, however, have a natural catalogue-like nature, that easily misleads us into to lecturing them one at a time. This leaves an impression of patterns as isolated solutions to independent problems. We present our experience with trying to counteract this problem by using a well-engineered framework, JHotDraw, as a case study in how patterns work together to define a flexible and compositional software system of high quality.

Using generative design patterns to generate parallel code for a distributed memory environment
Proceedings of the ACM SIGPLAN symposium on principles and practice of parallel programming (PPoPP 2003) and workshop on partial evaluation and semantics-based program manipulation (PEPM 2003)A design pattern is a mechanism for encapsulating the knowledge of experienced designers into a re-usable artifact. Parallel design patterns reflect commonly occurring parallel communication and synchronization structures. Our tools, CO2P3S (Correct ...
Pattern-Based Parallel Programming
ICPP '02: Proceedings of the 2002 International Conference on Parallel ProcessingThe advantages of pattern-based programming have been well-documented in the sequential programming literature. However patterns have yet to make their way into mainstream parallel computing, even though several research tools support them. There are ...
