Approach to build a class of Software Systems through a Combination of Design Patterns

Abstract

Design Patterns (DPs) are recognized as a tool that could be useful in solving repetitive problems that have arisen in real programming practice. The paper summarizes the combined use of DPs and the benefits of using DPs in software building, makes as a summary of Compound Design Patterns (CDP) classifications and presents an Approach to build a class of Software Systems through a Combination of DPs. The paper also presents real results from the use of the approach, namely the realization of an Information System (IS) for the purposes of Maritime Transport.
