Abstract
To understand a program, a software engineer calls upon a range of information from diverse sources. Understanding the system architecture and having information about the problem domain and common design cliches are some of the tasks required for program comprehension. Design cliches or patterns have a strong relationship with the architecture of software systems. They facilitate the process of understanding the structure and/or functionality of computer programs, and could be used as a basis for reasoning, code generation, and measuring the goodness of a design. A pattern repository that can store and retrieve patterns based on a description of the ideal architecture needed for the application aims, can provide a structure for a systematic method of choosing patterns for a particular application. Patterns in the repository would be associated with a structured data-set representing their meaning. This meaning should match the user's query when describing the ideal pattern structured description. Then the pattern description structure and the matching method need to be defined in order to facilitate the recognition of a correct pattern for a specific architecture. The structured data-set representing the meaning of patterns can be developed as a set of terms like concepts, relations and attributes, belonging to an ontology. In this study the task to be performed is to model the data set of ontologies that define the patterns. A combination of patterns according to their architectural application is expected when the end user client inputs a query. (Author)
