AA 13/14 Design Patterns SW Engineering ° Design pattern: a reusable solution scheme for some recurrent problem ° A name, a problem, alternative solutions, known consequences, … ° Term first made explicit in Architecture by Christopher Alexander ° A Handbook of electronics schemes (e.g. amplifiers push-pull, totem-pole, …) ° ProducerConsumer or Monitor are also patterns in operating systems ° Patterns in OO Design ° Advanced use of OO programming schemes ° Substitutability and polymorphism, inheritance, composition, … ° Override, method look-up or dynamic binding and virtual methods, … ° Differently mapped to different languages 2/97 Enrico Vicario - AA 13/14 The Observer pattern SW Engineering ° The problem ° (an object of type) Subject has a state variable whose value is necessary also to (objects of type) Observer_A and Observer_B ° (this might occur in the transition from specification to implementation, or in refactoring for separation of main concerns) ° Much about maintaining consistence across decoupling ° a naive solution ° (naive is a positive attribute, when beginning) ° Subject provides a public method that Observer invokes to get the value ° But, when shall the Observer unpdate its copy of the state? … might be before using it … but, intermediate states could be relevant as well (e.g. Computing interest on a banking current account) 3/97 Enrico Vicario - AA 13/14 The Observer pattern SW Engineering ° one step ahead ° assign to Subject the responsibility of notifying Observers (inversion of responsibility) ° after any change of its state, Subject invokes notify() which in turn invokes update() on each Observer ° Yet, the Subject must be aware of all the types and instances of Observer 4/97 Enrico Vicario - AA 13/14 The Observer pattern SW Engineering ° Some further steps ahead ° Move out from Subject the responsibility to register Observers: attach() and detach() to be used by the Observers, or by their creators (one more inversion of resposnibility) ° Decouple the inherent business of a Subject from being observable (using inheritance to reuse the methods for observability) ° Abstract Observers under a common interface for homogenous collection ° Call this Observer ° define a one to many dependency so that when an object changes state all its dependents are notified ° Also Known As: Publish & Subscribe (enterprise scale) 5/97 Enrico Vicario - AA 13/14 The Observer pattern SW Engineering ° Dynamic registration of Observers on the Subject ° attach() and detach() invoked by the Observer or someone else ° Subject notifies to AbstractSubject (same object) through notify() ° notify() invokes update() on each registered Observer ° Each Observer may call-back on getState() to get the state (pull vs push mode) 6/97 Enrico Vicario - AA 13/14 The Observer pattern SW Engineering ° Amplification of interaction :-( ° In principle might even be unbounded (call-backs) ° Can be reduced by registering Observers on specific Topics, at the attach() ° usual in the enterprise scale publish&subscribe ° Pull vs puh mode ° Pull: the Subject notifies that a change happened, and the Observer calls-back, if needed, accordind to its policy ° Push: Notification from the Subject carries the state change some parameter to distinguish among multiple subjects ° A matter of: efficiency, robustness, coupling ° State consistency ° When the update() is performed, the state must be “stable”, but, some action might trigger multiple "atomic" state changes ° A change manager (Mediator pattern) may get responsibility of coordination 7/97 Enrico Vicario - AA 13/14 Design Patterns [GOF] SW Engineering ° A system of 23 Design Patterns ° [GOF95] Erich Gamma, Richard Helm, Ralph Johnson, John Vlissides, "Design Patterns, elements of reusable Object-Oriented software" ° In the next few slides: emphasis on how a pattern is described, not on the pattern itself 8/97 Enrico Vicario - AA 13/14 description of a pattern (Observer) : WHEN SW Engineering ° Intent ° Define a one-to-many dependency between objects so that when one object changes state, all its dependents are notified and updated automatically. ° Also known as ° Publish & subscribe, Dependents, (Listener) ° Motivation: ° <a situation where the problem may occur> ° A common side-effect of partitioning is the need to maintain consistency between related objects, without making the classes tightly coupled, so as because that preserve reusability. ° A User Interface based on the Model View Controller ° Applicability ° When a change to one object requires changing others, and you don't know how many objects need to be changed. 9/97 Enrico Vicario - AA 13/14 description of a pattern (Observer) : HOW 1/3 SW Engineering ° Structure ° Described through a class diagram ° Close enough, c++ biased, but basically agnostic 10/97 Enrico Vicario - AA 13/14 description of a pattern (Observer) : HOW 2/3 SW Engineering ° Participants ° Subject: knows its observers; any number of Observer objects may observe a subject; provides an interface for attaching and detaching Observer objects. ° Observer: defines an updating interface for objects that should be notified of changes in a subject. ° ConcreteSubject: stores state of interest to ConcreteObserver objects; sends a notification to its observers when its state changes. ° ConcreteObserver: maintains a reference to a ConcreteSubject object; stores state that should stay consistent with the subject's; implements the Observer updating interface to keep its state consistent with the subject's. ° Collaborations ° ConcreteSubject notifies its observers whenever a change occurs ° After being informed of a change in the concrete subject, a ConcreteObserver object may query the subject for information. ° ConcreteObserver uses this information to reconcile its state with that of the subject. ° <Class, Responsibility, and Collaborations cards> ° 11/97 Enrico Vicario - AA 13/14 description of a pattern (Observer) : HOW 3/3 SW Engineering ° collaborations often documented through a sequence diagram 12/97 Enrico Vicario - AA 13/14 description of a pattern (Observer) : CONSEQUENCES SW Engineering ° Consequences ° <Good and bad news> ° As main consequences you can : vary subjects and observers independently; reuse subjects without reusing their observers, and vice versa; add observers without modifying the subject or other observers. ° Abstract coupling between Subject and Observer : Subject doesn't know the concrete class of any Observer ° Support for broadcast communication. ° Unexpected updates: since Observers do not know of each other, unexpected updates may occur :-( 13/97 Enrico Vicario - AA 13/14 description of a pattern (Observer) : IMPLEMENTATION SW Engineering ° Implementation ° Observing more than one subject : an Observer may depend on many Subjects; in this case, extend the update() interface to let the Observer know which Subject is sending the notification (a paremeter, or a self reference). ° Who triggers the update? Let state-setting methods of the Subject call notify(): simple, but possibly expensive with multiple consecutive changes; Or else, make clients responsible for calling notify() at the right time: is more efficient and flexible, but puts responsibility over (unknown) clients ° Dangling references to deleted Subjects ° Make sure Subject state is self-consistent before notification: unexpected notification may occur (e.g. a Subject subclass call inherited operations); document which Subject methods invoke notify() ° Update protocols: push/pull notification: ° Specifying modifications of interst explicitly: specify topics/aspects of interest to limit inteaction and update ° Sample Code ° <pieces of code, in c++> 14/97 Enrico Vicario - AA 13/14 description of a pattern (Observer): MORE SW Engineering ° Known uses ° Model view controller ° <often coming from a superior yet past world> ° Related Patterns ° Mediator: between Subjects and Observers, to encapuslate complex update ° Singleton: to ensure single instance of the Mediator 15/97 Enrico Vicario - AA 13/14 Impact of change from c+ to Java SW Engineering ° [GOF] Design Patterns refer to C++ ° but, patterns are by construction somehow language agnostic: no impact on WHEN, minor impact on STRUCTURE, some impact on IMPLEMENTATION ° What changes from c++ to java ? ° <intentionally incomplete> ° Method lookup vs dynamic binding and virtual methods ° single inheritance, interfaces, and abstract classes, ° Protected and package-private visibility ° Garbage collection ° Nested classes ° Concrete support from standard API ° <Often an opportunity more than problem to fix> ° Some references to work with ° J.W.Cooper, "The design patterns java companion" ° F.Guidi Polanco "GoF's Design Patterns in Java" ° J.Bloch, "Effective Java" ° … GOF, "Design Patterns, elements of reusable OO software" 16/97 Enrico Vicario - AA 13/14Patterns are often supported or applied by classes n standard APIs SW Engineering ° class java.util.Observable ° interface java.util.Observer 17/97 Enrico Vicario - AA 13/14 The Adapter pattern SW Engineering ° Intent ° Convert the interface of a class into another interface that clients expect ° Also Known as ° Wrapper ° Motivation ° an already

    DDEESSIIGGNN PPAATTTTEERRNN -- IINNTTEERRVVIIEEWW QQUUEESSTTIIOONNSS http://www.tutorialspoint.com/design_pattern/design_pattern_interview_questions.htm Copyright © tutorialspoint.com Dear readers, these Design Pattern Interview Questions have been designed specially to get you acquainted with the nature of questions you may encounter during your interview for the subject of Design Pattern. As per my experience good interviewers hardly plan to ask any particular question during your interview, normally questions start with some basic concept of the subject and later they continue based on further discussion and what you answer: What are Design Patterns? Design patterns represent the best practices used by experienced object-oriented software developers. Design patterns are solutions to general problems that software developers faced during software development. These solutions were obtained by trial and error by numerous software developers over quite a substantial period of time. What is Gang of Four GOF? In 1994, four authors Erich Gamma, Richard Helm, Ralph Johnson and John Vlissides published a book titled Design Patterns - Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software which initiated the concept of Design Pattern in Software development. These authors are collectively known as Gang of Four GOF. Name types of Design Patterns? Design patterns can be classified in three categories: Creational, Structural and Behavioral patterns. Creational Patterns - These design patterns provide a way to create objects while hiding the creation logic, rather than instantiating objects directly using new opreator. This gives program more flexibility in deciding which objects need to be created for a given use case. Structural Patterns - These design patterns concern class and object composition. Concept of inheritance is used to compose interfaces and define ways to compose objects to obtain new functionalities.

  • A Design Pattern Detection Tool for Code Reuse
    DP-CORE: A Design Pattern Detection Tool for Code Reuse Themistoklis Diamantopoulos, Antonis Noutsos and Andreas Symeonidis Electrical and Computer Engineering Dept., Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Thessaloniki, Greece [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Keywords: Design Pattern Detection, Static Code Analysis, Reverse Engineering, Code Reuse. Abstract: In order to maintain, extend or reuse software projects one has to primarily understand what a system does and how well it does it. And, while in some cases information on system functionality exists, information covering the non-functional aspects is usually unavailable. Thus, one has to infer such knowledge by extracting design patterns directly from the source code. Several tools have been developed to identify design patterns, however most of them are limited to compilable and in most cases executable code, they rely on complex representations, and do not offer the developer any control over the detected patterns. In this paper we present DP-CORE, a design pattern detection tool that defines a highly descriptive representation to detect known and define custom patterns. DP-CORE is flexible, identifying exact and approximate pattern versions even in non-compilable code. Our analysis indicates that DP-CORE provides an efficient alternative to existing design pattern detection tools. 1 INTRODUCTION ecutable.

Waltham, MA 02154, USA [email protected] February 29, 1996 Abstract Design patterns are distilled from many real systems to catalog common programming practice. However, some object-oriented design patterns are distorted or overly complicated because of the lack of supporting programming language constructs or mechanisms. For this paper, we have analyzed several published design patterns looking for idiomatic ways of working around constraints of the implemen- tation language. From this analysis, we lay a groundwork of general-purpose language constructs and mechanisms that, if provided by a statically typed, object-oriented language, would better support the arXiv:1905.13674v1 [cs.PL] 31 May 2019 implementation of design patterns and, transitively, benefit the construction of many real systems. In particular, our catalog of language constructs includes subtyping separate from inheritance, lexically scoped closure objects independent of classes, and multimethod dispatch. The proposed constructs and mechanisms are not radically new, but rather are adopted from a variety of languages and programming language research and combined in a new, orthogonal manner. We argue that by describing design pat- terns in terms of the proposed constructs and mechanisms, pattern descriptions become simpler and, therefore, accessible to a larger number of language communities.

AspectJ implementations of the GoF design patterns show modularity improvements in 17 of 23 cases. These improvements When the GoF patterns were first identified, the sample are manifested in terms of better code locality, reusability, implementations were geared to the current state of the art in composability, and (un)pluggability. object-oriented languages. Other work [19, 22] has shown that implementation language affects pattern implementation, so it seems The degree of improvement in implementation modularity varies, natural to explore the effect of aspect-oriented programming with the greatest improvement coming when the pattern solution techniques [11] on the implementation of the GoF patterns. structure involves crosscutting of some form, including one object As an initial experiment we chose to develop and compare Java playing multiple roles, many objects playing one role, or an object [27] and AspectJ [25] implementations of the 23 GoF patterns. playing roles in multiple pattern instances.

  • Abstract Factory and Singleton Design Patterns to Create Decorator Pattern Objects in Web Application
    International Journal of Advanced Information Technology (IJAIT) Vol. 1, No.5, October 2011 ABSTRACT FACTORY AND SINGLETON DESIGN PATTERNS TO CREATE DECORATOR PATTERN OBJECTS IN WEB APPLICATION Vijay K Kerji Department of Computer Science and Engineering, PDA College of Engineering,Gulbarga, India [email protected] ABSTRACT Software Design Patterns are reusable designs providing common solutions to the similar kind of problems in software development. Creational patterns are that category of design patterns which aid in how objects are created, composed and represented. They abstract the creation of objects from clients thus making the application more adaptable to future requirements changes. In this work, it has been proposed and implemented the creation of objects involved in Decorator Design Pattern. (Decorator Pattern Adds Additional responsibilities to the individual objects dynamically and transparently without affecting other objects). This enhanced the reusability of the application design, made application more adaptable to future requirement changes and eased the system maintenance. Proposed DMS (Development Management System) web application is implemented using .NET framework, ASP.NET and C#. KEYWORDS Design Patterns, Abstract Factory, Singleton, Decorator, Reusability, Web Application 1. INTRODUCTION Design Patterns refer to reusable or repeatable solutions that aim to solve similar design problems during development process. Various design patterns are available to support development process. Each pattern provides the main solution for particular problem. From developer’s perspectives, design patterns produce a more maintainable design. While from user’s perspectives, the solutions provided by design patterns will enhance the usability of web applications [1] [2]. Normally, developers use their own design for a given software requirement, which may be new each time they design for a similar requirement.

  • Design Patterns Past and Future
    Proceedings of Informing Science & IT Education Conference (InSITE) 2011 Design Patterns Past and Future Aleksandar Bulajic Metropolitan University, Belgrade, Serbia [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract A very important part of the software development process is service or component internal de- sign and implementation. Design Patterns (Gamma et al., 1995) provide list of the common pat- terns used in the object-oriented software design process. The primary goal of the Design Patterns is to reuse good practice in the design of new developed components or applications. Another important reason of using Design Patterns is improving common application design understand- ing and reducing communication overhead by reusing the same generic names for implemented solution. Patterns are designed to capture best practice in a specific domain. A pattern is supposed to present a problem and a solution that is supported by an example. It is always worth to listen to an expert advice, but keep in mind that common sense should decide about particular implemen- tation, even in case when are used already proven Design Patterns. Critical view and frequent and well designed testing would give an answer about design validity and a quality. Design Patterns are templates and cannot be blindly copied. Each design pattern records design idea and shall be adapted to particular implementation. Using time to research and analyze existing solutions is recommendation supported by large number of experts and authorities and fits very well in the pattern basic philosophy; reuse solution that you know has been successfully implemented in the past. Sections 2 and 3 are dedicated to the Design Patterns history and theory as well as literature sur- vey.
