Framework for Using Patterns in Model-Driven Development

This chapter presents a framework for using patterns in promising and emerging paradigm of software industry called model-driven development (MDD). Despite a lot of skepticism and problems, MDD paradigm is being used and improved to accomplish many inherent potential benefits. During the last two decades, patterns are used in SW industry and becoming more and more numerous. So it is natural to ask the question: How software patterns fits into MDD paradigm? In this chapter, authors examine the possibilities of using patterns in context of MDD paradigm. Because in the methodological approach of software development it is necessary to use some kind of development process. As the result of this research authors in this chapter presents the framework for using patterns in model-driven development.
