2004
The advantages of the agent-based approach are still not widely recognized outside the agent research community. We believe that there is a need for guidelines that summarize the key benefits of the agent approach to non-agent experts. Agent patterns can provide that guidance.

Case study - using stil as test pattern language

International Test Conference, 2003. Proceedings. ITC 2003., 2004
This paper describes the implementation of a test pattern language using STIL [1], the IEEE Standard Test Interface Language (1450-1999), in a next generation, open architecture Automated Test Equipment (ATE) platform. The advantages of this approach in extensibility and easy interface with Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools for the ATE user are ...

Identification of Framework Hot Spots Using Pattern Languages

Anais do XV Simpósio Brasileiro de Engenharia de Software (SBES 2001), 2001
One of the major factors that brings complexity to framework development is the identification of its hot spots, i.e., the framework parts that must be kept flexible as they are specific of individual systems. In this paper we show that pattern languages can be important sources for framework hot spots identification and, consequently, can be used for ...

Compiling techniques to exploit the pattern of language usage

Software: Practice and Experience, 1976
AbstractA generalized system for language analysis is describedA description of the language is provided as input data from which the system constructs 8 tree‐structured hierarchy. This hierarchy then directs the subsequent analysis. At the same time the system collects detailed information on the structure of all units analysedPeriodically, the normal

Janus: Using a Pattern Language to Create Software Architecture

2001
This paper presents the theoretical background to Janus, an ongoing project that has been more fully described elsewhere, that explores the use of software patterns organised in a pattern language, to capture and express the normally tacit and configurational knowledge that is the essence of architectural knowledge.
