Title Formalising Design Patterns
Contributors
Abstract This paper shows that various design patterns [5] can be formally proved to be refinement transformations, using a version of the Object Calculus [4] as a semantic framework. We also make explicit the conditions under which these transformations are formally correct. We give some additional design pattern transformations which have been termed "annealing" in the VDM++ world, which include the introduction of concurrent execution into an initially sequential system. We show that these design patterns can be classified on the basis of a smaller set of fundamental transformations which correspond to techniques used in the proof of their correctness.
