Pattern-Oriented Framework Engineering Using FRED

摘要

Application frameworks are reusable architectures used to improve the software development process. Although design patterns may be used in designing, implementing, and documenting architectural constructs, lacking a systematical approach frameworks are still hard to design and reuse. This paper presents the methodology and the set of supporting tools that provide a methodical practice for applying design patterns in software engineering, especially when constructing reusable designs such as application frameworks.
