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...

Every field of Knowledge depends on ABSTRACTIONS. Unfortunately, current Abstractors could be doing better on the abstraction process and the type of abstractions because it is based mainly on tangibility and ignores other more essential conceptions. Fayad's Art of Abstraction (FAA) shows how to abstract over 50 innovative keys per concept (Noun an...
Pattern languages (PLs) form the strong groundwork for programming discipline understanding. It uses influence over the software engineering field. It describes (as they claim wrongly) past experiences and better understands software architectures conceptualization and how to build blocks of reusable micro-architectures

Stable patterns that are widely used in today's software engineering in modelling and it plays an important role in reducing the cost and condensing the time of software product lifecycles. Nowadays, many existing traditional patterns fail to model the subtle changes in context of the implementation of the model. As a result, the reusability of the...
Pitfalls Categories Overview: The Factor of Immaturity Professor Dr. M.E. Fayad, SJSU, AITG, Inc, Aeeh Press, Inc, i-SOLE, inc. One of the major pitfalls in developing meaningful and convenient patterns is the perceived factor of immaturity; thus, most of the patterns developed are yet to fulfill the expectations for their use in facilitating the d...
Traditional Software Patterns include all the existing patterns, like the gang of four, Siemens Group, and the others. Experience is more of a subjective topic, rather than an objective property. As of now, there are neither well defined metrics, by which experience can be quantitatively measured, nor does it always make sense to define specific me...
With the tremendous growth of the patterns community, it becomes fairly natural to find similar patterns that attempt to address almost the same problem. The nature and format of the design, as the solution space, makes it perfectly acceptable for developers to find different patterns, which
provide dissimilar approaches to solve the same problem....
In spite of very clear theoretical definitions that differentiate between analysis and design aspects of patterns, the resulting fine thin line gets increasingly blurred and invisible, and in some cases it may not even exist at ball! Such confusion may directly lead to more pronounced confusions between analysis and design patterns. In fact, it qui...
Current patterns are hard to understand and comprehend. The GoF had earlier mentioned in the preface of their book [1] (page xi): “Don’t worry if you don’t understand this book on the first reading. We didn’t understand it all on the first writing!†Despite the fact that many existing patterns are really worth the time to understand and c...
Pattern composition is the intimate process of integrating and hemming different patterns of the similar type (i.e. design patterns, analysis patterns, etc) to build and design larger components or different types of patterns that also include process patterns, managerial and organizational patterns and other types of patterns. Systematic and organ...
If a developer wishes to develop meaningful patterns, he or she will need to identify the perimeter of the problems that these patterns model or solve. In many cases, it is quite difficult and cumbersome to identify the boundary of the problems. In absence of any clear and well-set boundaries for a particular pattern, it will ultimately embody and...
The point highlighted in the previous pitfall illustrated the challenge of integrating patterns within the same developmental phase. Integrating a given pattern is often a major challenge and a strenuous task for any developer of patterns. However, a different set of challenge emerges when a
developer tries to introduce different types of patterns...
Today, developers consider many software patterns, especially those in the area of analysis, as templates. In [1], Peter Code has defined patterns in briefly as following: â€oeA pattern is a template of interacting objects, one that may be used again and again by analogyâ€. Simply speaking, the pattern extracted from a specific project can be integ...
Another major challenge that confronts pattern designers while designing today’s patterns is the absence of a clear guidance or methodology for already extracting patterns. GOF [1] has stated explicitly in their book on page 355:â€â€¦that finding patterns is much easier than describing them.†Creating and documenting patterns that everyone can...
One of the specific benefits of using patterns resides in developing a common vocabulary by which software and pattern developers, in any development phase, can easily communicate and discuss their project concepts. Such a common vocabulary simplifies the basic description of complex systems. One can discuss the system at a higher level of abstract...
14] Reinventing the Wheel: An Undesirable and Dangerous Development Professor Dr. M.E. Fayad, SJSU, AITG, Inc, Aeeh Press, Inc, i-SOLE, inc. â€oeA pattern is a plan, rather than a specific implementation.’’ [1]. Pattern developers never directly use design patterns to guide programming. They are guides for modeling purposes. A pattern is â€oean...
As these reasons might provide a useful insight into why patterns die or become outdated, they also provide many ideas and clues about the critical question: why have not patterns fulfilled the expectation of playing a crucial role in software development?Stable Design Patterns for Software and Systems
It is a common fact that the solution for any pattern consists of two different models: static, mainly class diagrams, and dynamic, by using sequence diagrams or state transition diagrams. Let us visit Figure 1, in Pitfall #9, the model of the Resource Rental pattern [1, 2] that tries to model the common rules that govern any renting, whether the o...
In the above columns we highlighted fourteen of the major problems that are believed to diminish the strength of the role of patterns in developing software systems.
IN today’s rapidly changing busi- ness environment, adaptability is a critical weapon for survival. Busi- nesses must be adaptable in order to meet increasingly narrow mar- ket windows. This need for adapt- ability at the business level has changed the focus in many business- es from efficiency to opportunity, from reducing costs to generating reve...

While moving away from traditional approaches to build software and design software architecture, the authors realized that it is sensible to migrate to a platform of better fundamental approach. This refers to the way one looks at the analysis and design of any software. This helps one to weave into the system's architecture itself like different...

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...
The existence of a many number of patterns that address the same problem will naturally raise the perplexing and mysterious question: “Which pattern shall we choose?†Today, the decision to choose a particular pattern has become a crucial issue, while applying patterns.
