Abstract. We propose design patterns as a new mechanism for expressing object-oriented design experience. Design patterns identify, name, and abstract common themes in objectoriented design. They capture the intent behind a design by i d e n tifying objects, their collaborations, and the distribution of responsibilities. Design patterns play many roles in the object-oriented development process: they provide a common vocabulary for design, they reduce system complexity b y naming and de ning abstractions, they constitute a base of experience for building reusable software, and they act as building blocks from which more complex designs can be built. Design patterns can be considered reusable micro-architectures that contribute to an overall system architecture. We describe how to express and organize design patterns and introduce a catalog of design patterns. We also describe our experience in applying design patterns to the design of object-oriented systems.

Behavioral compositions, groups of interdependent objects cooperating to accomplish tasks, are an important feature of object-oriented systems. This paper introduces Contracts, a new technique for specifying behavioral compositions and the obligations on participating objects. Refinement and composition of contracts allows for the creation of large grain abstractions based on behavior, orthogonal to those provided by existing class constructs.Using contracts thus provides a basis and vocabulary for Interaction-Oriented design which greatly facilitates the early identification, abstraction and reuse of patterns of behavior in programs.Contracts differ from previous work in that they capture explicitly and abstractly the behavioral dependencies amongst cooperating objects. By explicitly stating these dependencies, contracts also provide an effective aid for program understanding and reuse.sizing and reshaping operations with its child windows to ensure that it always properly surrounds them. Patterns of communication within a behavioral composition are often repeated throughout a system with different participating objects. They represent a reusable domain protocol or programming pasadigm. For the purposes of extending, modifying or re-using programs, it is clearly important to understand these behavioral compositions and the inter-object dependencies they imply.
