The Command Dispatcher Pattern Benoit Dupire and Eduardo B Fernandez {[email protected], [email protected]}
The Command Dispatcher Pattern Benoit Dupire and Eduardo B Fernandez {[email protected], [email protected]} Department of Computer Science and Engineering. Florida Atlantic University Boca Raton, FL 33431 Can also be called: Command Evaluator Pattern. Intent This pattern increases the flexibility of applications by enabling their services to be changed, by adding, replacing or removing any command handlers at any point in time without having to modify, recompile or statically relink the application. By simulating the command-evaluation feature common in interpreted languages, this pattern supports the need for continual, incremental evolution of applications. Example Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) are small, unmanned, untethered submersibles. There are numerous applications for AUVs, such as oceanographic surveys, operations in hazardous environments, underwater structure inspection and military operations. We implement the high level controller of this AUV as a Hierarchical Finite State Machine (Figure 1). A state of the Finite State Machine (FSM) represents a mode of the system, in which some tasks have to be executed, as described in the mission plan. The system takes transitions based on the results of these actions and the progression of the AUV. The system is programmed with high-level commands of the style "set depth 3" state1 state2 action 1.1 action 2.1 Figure 1: Simplified Finite State Machine for the AUV. The FSM must be able to fire any type of actions, without knowing anything about them. This problem is addressed by the Command Pattern [GOF95], which encapsulates an action as an object, thereby letting you parameterize clients with different actions. -

According to their purpose, design patterns readily reusable. This method also helps a programmer to are classified into creational, structural and behavioural, analyze, compare patterns, and detect patterns from existing software programmes. whereas the scope divides patterns into class patterns and object patterns. Class patterns capture relationships This method differs from the existing pattern description between classes and their subclasses; object patterns deal methods in that it captures both static and dynamic properties with relationships between objects. of patterns. It describes them in terms of mathematical entities rather than natural language narratives, incomplete graphical Software patterns provide reusable solutions to notations or programme fragments. It also helps users to recurring design problems.

The Scalable Adapter Design Pattern: Enabling Interoperability Between Educational Software Tools
The Scalable Adapter Design Pattern: Enabling Interoperability Between Educational Software Tools Andreas Harrer, Catholic University Eichstatt-Ingolstadt,¨ Germany, Niels Pinkwart, Clausthal University of Technology, Germany, Bruce M. McLaren, Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh PA, U.S.A., and DFKI, Saarbrucken,¨ Germany, and Oliver Scheuer, DFKI, Saarbrucken,¨ Germany Abstract For many practical learning scenarios, the integrated use of more than one learning tool is educationally beneficial. In these cases, interoperability between learning tools - getting the pieces to talk to one another in a coherent, well-founded manner - is a crucial requirement that is often hard to achieve. This paper describes a re-usable software design that aims at the integration of independent learning tools into one collaborative learning scenario. We motivate the usefulness and expressiveness of combining several learning tools into one integrated learning experience. Based on this we sketch software design principles that integrate several existing components into a joint technical framework. The feasibility of the approach, which we name the “Scalable Adapter” design pattern, is shown with several implementation examples from different educational technology domains, including Intelligent Tutoring Systems and collaborative learning environments.

Behavioral Patterns
Behavioral Patterns 101 What are Behavioral Patterns ! " Describe algorithms, assignment of responsibility, and interactions between objects (behavioral relationships) ! " Behavioral class patterns use inheritence to distribute behavior ! " Behavioral object patterns use composition ! " General example: ! " Model-view-controller in UI application ! " Iterating over a collection of objects ! " Comparable interface in Java !" 2003 - 2007 DevelopIntelligence List of Structural Patterns ! " Class scope pattern: ! " Interpreter ! " Template Method ! " Object scope patterns: ! " Chain of Responsibility ! " Command ! " Iterator ! " Mediator ! " Memento ! " Observer ! " State ! " Strategy ! " Visitor !" 2003 - 2007 DevelopIntelligence CoR Pattern Description ! " Intent: Avoid coupling the sender of a request to its receiver by giving more than one object a chance to handle the request. Chain the receiving objects and pass the request along the chain until an object handles it. ! " AKA: Handle/Body ! " Motivation: User Interfaces function as a result of user interactions, known as events. Events can be handled by a component, a container, or the operating system. In the end, the event handling should be decoupled from the component. ! " Applicability: ! " more than one object may handle a request, and the handler isn't known a priori. ! " Want to issue a request to one of several objects without specifying the receiver !" 2003 - 2007 DevelopIntelligence CoR Real World Example ! " The Chain of Responsibility pattern avoids coupling the sender of a request to the receiver, by giving more than one object a chance to handle the request. ! " Mechanical coin sorting banks use the Chain of Responsibility. Rather than having a separate slot for each coin denomination coupled with receptacle for the denomination, a single slot is used. When the coin is dropped, the coin is routed to the appropriate receptacle by the mechanical mechanisms within the bank. -
Design Patterns in Ocaml
Design Patterns in OCaml Antonio Vicente [email protected] Earl Wagner [email protected] Abstract The GOF Design Patterns book is an important piece of any professional programmer's library. These patterns are generally considered to be an indication of good design and development practices. By giving an implementation of these patterns in OCaml we expected to better understand the importance of OCaml's advanced language features and provide other developers with an implementation of these familiar concepts in order to reduce the effort required to learn this language. As in the case of Smalltalk and Scheme+GLOS, OCaml's higher order features allows for simple elegant implementation of some of the patterns while others were much harder due to the OCaml's restrictive type system. 1 Contents 1 Background and Motivation 3 2 Results and Evaluation 3 3 Lessons Learned and Conclusions 4 4 Creational Patterns 5 4.1 Abstract Factory . 5 4.2 Builder . 6 4.3 Factory Method . 6 4.4 Prototype . 7 4.5 Singleton . 8 5 Structural Patterns 8 5.1 Adapter . 8 5.2 Bridge . 8 5.3 Composite . 8 5.4 Decorator . 9 5.5 Facade . 10 5.6 Flyweight . 10 5.7 Proxy . 10 6 Behavior Patterns 11 6.1 Chain of Responsibility . 11 6.2 Command . 12 6.3 Interpreter . 13 6.4 Iterator . 13 6.5 Mediator . 13 6.6 Memento . 13 6.7 Observer . 13 6.8 State . 14 6.9 Strategy . 15 6.10 Template Method . 15 6.11 Visitor . 15 7 References 18 2 1 Background and Motivation Throughout this course we have seen many examples of methodologies and tools that can be used to reduce the burden of working in a software project. -

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. AspectJ is a seamless aspect-oriented extension to Java, which means that programming in AspectJ is effectively programming in Categories and Subject Descriptors Java plus aspects.

Additional Design Pattern Examples Design Patterns--Factory Method
Additional Design Pattern Examples • Creational – Factory method – Abstract factory • Structural – Decorator – Adapter • Behavioral – Observer Design Patterns--Factory Method • Intent--Permit a class to be reuseable with arbitrary data types. Specifically, allow the class to be independent of the classes it instantiates – Define an interface for object creation. – Let subclasses decide which class to instantiate. • Motivation – Useful for development of frameworks 1 Factory Method--Continued • Consider a document-processing framework – High-level support for creating, opening, saving documents – Consistent method calls for these commands, regardless of document type (word-processor, spreadsheet, etc.) – Logic to implement these commands delegated to specific types of document objects. – May be some operations common to all document types. Factory Method--Continued Document Processing Example-General Framework: Document Application getTitle( ) * Edits 1 newDocument( ) newDocument( ) openDocument( ) openDocument( ) ... ... MyDocument Problem: How can an Application object newDocument( ) create instances of specific document classes openDocument( ) without being application-specific itself. ... 2 Factory Method--Continued Use of a document creation “factory”: Document Application getTitle( ) * Edits 1 newDocument( ) newDocument( ) openDocument( ) openDocument( ) ... ... 1 requestor * Requests-creation creator 1 <<interface>> MyDocument DocumentFactoryIF newDocument( ) createDocument(type:String):Document openDocument( ) ...

Design Patterns Adapter Pattern
DDEESSIIGGNN PPAATTTTEERRNNSS -- AADDAAPPTTEERR PPAATTTTEERRNN http://www.tutorialspoint.com/design_pattern/adapter_pattern.htm Copyright © tutorialspoint.com Adapter pattern works as a bridge between two incompatible interfaces. This type of design pattern comes under structural pattern as this pattern combines the capability of two independent interfaces. This pattern involves a single class which is responsible to join functionalities of independent or incompatible interfaces. A real life example could be a case of card reader which acts as an adapter between memory card and a laptop. You plugin the memory card into card reader and card reader into the laptop so that memory card can be read via laptop. We are demonstrating use of Adapter pattern via following example in which an audio player device can play mp3 files only and wants to use an advanced audio player capable of playing vlc and mp4 files. Implementation We have a MediaPlayer interface and a concrete class AudioPlayer implementing the MediaPlayer interface. AudioPlayer can play mp3 format audio files by default. We are having another interface AdvancedMediaPlayer and concrete classes implementing the AdvancedMediaPlayer interface. These classes can play vlc and mp4 format files. We want to make AudioPlayer to play other formats as well. To attain this, we have created an adapter class MediaAdapter which implements the MediaPlayer interface and uses AdvancedMediaPlayer objects to play the required format. AudioPlayer uses the adapter class MediaAdapter passing it the desired audio type without knowing the actual class which can play the desired format. AdapterPatternDemo, our demo class will use AudioPlayer class to play various formats. Step 1 Create interfaces for Media Player and Advanced Media Player. -
