Abstract
This paper proposes a process of applying design patterns to design model of a software system. The process facilitates multi-step design pattern instantiation involving interaction with a designer. It results in enrichment of software design model with explicit and implicit information about interplaying entities forming a meaningful design pattern instance. The pattern template models significant aspects of design pattern and provides set of constraints to make possible to allow guiding the designer through the process of instantiation. Emphasis has been put on supporting the interactive, iterative and incremental instantiation process. The designer is prompted with a list of tasks based on pattern template and momentary state of each pattern instance. Designer’s actions consequently alter the state of particular pattern instance and comple the closed loop of the process. As a demonstration we have developed a prototype CASE tool.
