Software design patterns are known to play a vital role in enhancing the quality of software systems while reducing development time and cost. However, the use of these design patterns has also been known to introduce problems that can significantly reduce the stability, robustness, and reusability of software. This book introduces a new process fo...
Often, changing market dynamics require business applications to quickly and efficiently adapt to the needs of the ensuing business environment. Business Rules excel in delivering software solutions that are implicitly adaptable to changing business requirements; thus they can prove to be an effective tool to provide necessary flexibility and contr...
Abstract -- Privacy is the ability of a person or a group of people to seclude themselves from public scrutiny or selectively protect information about. Privacy is an important human right and everyone has the right to privacy [1, 2]. Privacy is a concept, as it does not have any beginning or end. In addition, it is an Enduring Business Theme (EBT)...

Abstract -- Why do we need projects? What is the need to carry out a project? What is the ultimate-goal of a project? These are few thoughts that crop up in one’s mind while trying to implement any project. The main motivation behind writing this essay on a project is to highlight that “there are no existing patterns for a project that supports sta...
A complaint is a statement or an act of expression that exhibits dissatisfaction or unhappiness towards something. A complaint represents an objection to anything unacceptable and hence it can exist in anything we do. However, in the case of software patterns, traditional modeling does not provide a design pattern for a complaint. This paper introd...
Abstract -- Policies are a set of ascertained goals that somebody seeks to achieve. They constitute the core principles and guidelines required to direct the future course of action for any organization. In other words, any policy is usually adopted for control. The policy stable design pattern represents the core knowledge of anything that constit...
Reputation is the opinion (more technically, a social evaluation) of the public towards a person, a group of people, or an organization. In other words, reputation is the general estimation that the public has for a person or an institution. It is an important factor in many fields, like business, online communities or social status. It is also a s...
There are many situations in the modern world where influence is a subtle, but significant, factor. Business and politics abound with a myriad of instances that each must be analyzed and understood for the right course of action to be determined and followed. This paper proposes a model for analyzing these situations without resorting to constructi...
The endless pursuit for creating effective systems for software reuse has continued for as long as software has existed. To date, there have been few, if any, such effective systems created for ensuring a high degree of reusability from one project to the next. The inherent tendency for projects to demand substantial alterations, despite being desi...
The rich and complex elements existing across the development process that define the ultimate goal of the developers’ team could be viewed as their context. This can be viewed across different dimensions and is helpful for a team of developers to remain within a predefined limit. In other words, they can easily recognize their boundaries and are a...
The term Software Reuse can be defined as a process of developing software systems from existing ones, instead of creating them from scratch [2, 3, 4, 5]. In many software engineering disciplines, systems are designed by recomposing existing software components that have been used in other systems. It has become a topic of renewed interest in the s...
The main actors in Unified Modeling Language (UML) are Humans and Machines. After examining thoroughly, we find that this is arbitrary and it may limit the types and the numbers of applications that that may be modeled. It is most challenging to symbolize the interaction of UML Actors with a system, when the actors are not classified and defined pr...
Legal actors do not exist in UML, which prevents us from using UML in legal applications such as binding contracts etc. The goal is the utilization of legal users in UML to model legal applications. The idea is to introduce legal users in modelling and law applications and how to use them. Reduction in the legal cost is one of the benefits apart fr...
The Accessibility Stable Analysis Pattern intends to describe the core knowledge behind the concept of Accessibility. Accessibility finds an extensive range of usages in various applications. The pattern also gives an excellent start to software developers, by defining the core knowledge of any accessibility problem. Any developer can build on, ext...
Business rules are the rules of a business, company or corporation that defines their policies and practices. However, most organizations still find it difficult to explicitly define or model these rules. Much of this has to do with a lack of a truly global and widely acceptable set of standards to specify these rules. A uniformly applicable set of...
Legality is an umbrella term that encompasses every aspect of dealing and working with different entities in a lawful manner. Although, legality finds application across almost every existing system, an explicitly defined pattern do not exist for it even now. Hence, this paper will introduce the process of modeling different kinds of related applic...

The Special Issue of Software Practice and Experience presents papers on pattern language that usually consists of a cascade or hierarchy of parts, linked closely together by patterns, which solve generically recurring problems that are associated with these parts. The first paper is titled 'Towards Design Pattern Definition Language'. It proposes...
In previous work we have discussed some of the problems that face the contemporary analysis patterns, and proposed the new concept of "Stable Analysis Patterns" as a solution to these problems [2,3,5]. Since that time we have applied the same concepts to design as well as analysis, resulting in the broad concept of Stable Software Patterns, with sp...
A role of an entity can be defined as the set of properties that are important for an object in order to behave in a certain way, as expected by a set of other objects. A role model is a software that specifies a style of designing and implementing roles. ...
This paper aims at modeling a system that has to perform maintenance, by employing a Corrective Action and come up with a stable pattern, which can form a part of such a system, focusing at applying corrective action in a holistic way, rather than tying it on only one application specific context, which might cause potential impedance mismatch betw...
Modern software-intensive systems are characterized not only by the movement of data, as has been the case in traditional distributed systems, but also by the movement of users, devices, and code. Developing effective, efficient, and dependable systems ...

Every field of knowledge depends on ABSTRACTIONS. Currently we are doing very poorly on abstraction process and the type of abstractions because it is based mostly on tangibility and ignoring other type of abstractions. The art of abstraction is Looking at every concept within the dictionary of natural language (which the way that will be used and utilized in the future for all our systems) as a unique system in a way every concept has unique discovery that includes functional requirements, unique non-functional requirements, contexts, challenges, constraints, applicability, measure-ability, etc. Each concept can be documented in 3, 6, 20, 60, or 100+ pages. I am in the process of generating a few dictionaries called the art of abstraction discoveries of Intelligent Systems, Image Process, Smart cities, robots, and robotic systems, strategic thinking and planning, I am almost done with the base art of abstraction volume.
These art of abstraction discoveries unlimited advantages:
1. Understand and appreciate our natural languages
2. The future of the technology depend on these discovery.
3. Unification of domain analysis of any filed of knowledge
4. Know how to generate stable and unified requirements and ultimate design of any system.
5. Knowledge Unification
7. Limit and control maintenance
8. Explore and create huge number of new systems
9. Generate better methodologies for developing unified ans stable systems
10. Stop re-inventing the wheels
11. Develop self manageable, self-adaptable, self, extendable, self configurable, systems with unlimited applicability and reuse.
12. Appreciate and deep understanding of the holey books
13. A peak of how the future looks like.
and many more.
We developed a lot of materials on this projects and here some of the outcomes
1. A large number of short and large books in many field of knowledge
2. A large number of short and large papers for prestige journals and conferences.
3. A large number of columns, reviews, citations, etc.
4. A large number of new technical and social events events, gathering, etc.
and many more.
