Abstract

The solution to recurring problems in software has been solved with design patterns, which are considered modular units that are feasible to be encapsulated and reused both in code and in implementation. In the context of reuse and considering the intention of the pattern, the replacement of design patterns is feasible, although the modular properties behind the design pattern depend on the designer's experience. To facilitate the replacement of software patterns systematically, the authors propose a framework based on Function-Oriented Search (FOS). FOS is a TRIZ-based tool that facilitates the transfer of knowledge between areas. The framework uses a simplification of the FOS algorithm for its use in the context of software and for supporting expert designers in solving recurring problems with other patterns as alternatives. The goal of this work is to demonstrate the feasibility of replacement between patterns using functions identified from the Gamma templates (Gamma et al. 1995) and the classification proposed by Metsker (2002). To complement this new design perspective and to specify the basis of replacement, this work considers the structural similarities of the patterns. Based on the common functions between patterns, it is possible to obtain the versatility and adaptability of each design pattern to determine the replacement potential.
