Abstract
Design patterns are used to document and communicate good, proven designs to
other developers and thereby to support the development of complex applications.
In this paper, we present a pattern based development approach
which goes a step beyond the documentation aspect: starting from a formalized,
domain specific pattern catalog, we are able to generate software components
from pattern-based models. This results, in conjunction with other
components, in the automatic generation of domain- and application-specific,
tailored, and optimized application frameworks. The sample application domain
is building simulation.
