Abstract

Pattern languages as tools for solving problems based on interconnected, abstract, and proven solutions can offer valuable help to practitioners. But there is always the question of where to begin when a pattern language should be applied. Their authors often provide entry points, but these are usually only useful if one starts completely from scratch or from a very specific situation. When confronted with problems at hand, practitioners are often left to find a suitable entry point themselves by reading through the whole pattern language to find applicable patterns. To help with this problem, we present a general approach and its formalization that provides entry points for any kind of situation. Our general three step approach guides practitioners through Situation Assessment, Treatment Selection, and Treatment Application in order to find and apply a suitable pattern language for their specific problems. We formalize all the parts involved and show that the facts collected during Situation Assessment can be used to find a suitable entry point for a specific situation. We also present an algorithm for finding these entry points.
从哪里开始:模式语言的切入点
模式语言作为解决基于相互关联的、抽象的和经过验证的解决方案的问题的工具,可以为实践者提供有价值的帮助。但是,当应用模式语言时,从哪里开始总是存在问题。它们的作者通常提供入口点,但这些通常只在完全从零开始或从非常特定的情况开始时才有用。当遇到手头的问题时,从业者通常需要通过通读整个模式语言来找到合适的切入点。为了帮助解决这个问题,我们提出了一种通用方法及其形式化,为任何类型的情况提供了入口点。我们一般的三步方法指导从业者通过情况评估、治疗选择和治疗应用,以便为他们的具体问题找到并应用合适的模式语言。我们将所涉及的所有部分形式化,并表明在情况评估期间收集的事实可用于为特定情况找到合适的切入点。我们还提出了一种寻找这些入口点的算法。
