	Architecture Patterns
		Pattern techniques are generally acknowledged to have been established as a valuable architectural design technique by Christopher Alexander, a buildings architect, who described this approach in his book The Timeless Way of Building, published in 1979.
		Although design patterns have been the focus of widespread interest in the software industry for several years, particularly in the object-oriented and component-based software fields, it is only recently that there has been increasing interest in architecture patterns - extending the principles and concepts of design patterns to the architecture domain.
		The architecture pattern is described in diagrams and words in as much detail as is required to convey to the reader the components of the pattern and their responsibilities.

	CACM Guest Editorial on Software Patterns
		Pattern languages are not formal languages, but rather a collection of interrelated patterns, though they do provide a vocabulary for talking about a particular problem.
		Both patterns and pattern languages help developers communicate architectural knowledge, help people learn a new design paradigm or architectural style, and help new developers ignore traps and pitfalls that have traditionally been learned only by costly experience.
		One difference between patterns and frameworks is that patterns are described in language-independent manner, whereas frameworks are generally implemented in a particular language.

	Difference between Design Pattern & Framework
		Patterns are popular because they are a very good way to use a common language, to document a system and to reuse some parts of a system design.
		A Design pattern is a way of doing common things in a special way.Each known pattern has evolved from the failures of many programs that had been written in various domains.The most effective way of dealing with a problem is documented in a given style recommended by GoF (Gang of Four).
		design patterns to be the "best-practices" that can be adopted when designing applications because they are highly optimized designs and time-tested to be effective.

	The Elements of a Design Pattern
		One of the key benefits of a design pattern over a style guide or guideline document is the heavy emphasis on the context of use of each element in the library.
		Mentioning other patterns that interact with this one helps the designer understand what else they'll need to consider when they are putting their design together.
		Design patterns are a very powerful approach to getting the all the designers in the organization on the same page.

		Object-oriented design patterns typically show relationships and interactions between classes or objects, without specifying the final application classes or objects that are involved.
		Furthermore, the designer of this stereotype notation needs to know, for example, the desired properties of the stereotype to be designed, the base language, the general principles of good language design, and the meta-language that is used to specify the semantics of the stereotype.
		It is important for designers to describe explicitly patterns in a design diagram because the goals of design patterns are to reuse design experience, to improve communication within and across software development teams, to capture explicitly the design decisions made by designers, and to record design tradeoffs and design alternatives in different applications.

		Alexander has come to believe that patterns themselves are not enough, and that one needs a "morphogenetic" understanding of the formation of the built environment; he has published his ideas in the four-volume work The Nature of Order.

	Patterns and Software: Essential Concepts and Terminology
		Design patterns are medium-scale tactics that flesh out some of the structure and behavior of entities and their relationships.
		Patterns aren't designed to be executed or analyzed by computers, as one might imagine to be true for rules: patterns are to be executed by architects with insight, taste, experience, and a sense of aesthetics.
		Design patterns may be employed both in the design and the documentation of a framework.

	Design Pattern Synopses
		The Filter pattern allows objects that perform different transformations and computations on streams of data and have compatible interfaces to be dynamically connected to perform combinations of operations on streams of data.
		The Filter pattern is a special case of the Decorator pattern, where a data source or data sink object is wrapped to add logic to the handling of a data stream.
		The Composite pattern also allows the objects in the tree to be manipulated in a consistent manner, by requiring all of the objects in the tree to have a common superclass or interface.

	Inventing the Future with Structured Planning
		In large complex systems design problems the goal of the analysis is to define the forces that need to be resolved by the form to achieve the functions, and the goal of this information structuring is to make it manageable and usable in the problem solving and design synthesis phase.
		For a simple design project of only 21 elements such an approach is hardly needed, but this is a good way to attack large complex systems design projects with hundreds of Problem Elements because the solution generation can proceed in a discretely manageable and systematic way.
		There may still be some low-level design decisions to be made, for example, those involving fit and finish, and there is always a fair amount of fine tuning as preliminary (alpha, beta, etc.) versions of the system are built and tested.

	The differences between architecture and design (design pattern and architecture pattern as well) - Natty Gur
		Designing of components end up with classes, interfaces, abstract classes and other OO feature in order to fulfill the given component tasks.
		While design pattern are more about classes and interfaces needed in order to create component, architecture patterns on the other hand are more about behavior of the system.
		IOC is architecture design pattern that force classes that write in the system to be control (run) by other mechanism rather then the code that class implementer wrote.

	Why Software Patterns are important (Site not responding. Last check: )
		“difficulty of design lies in disclosing which design and architectural decisions should be used to best balance the technical, economical, business, political and emotional that swirl around every software intensive system”.
		Some of these design principles are quite generic and abstract that rarely help concretely a developer during the process of software design.
		There is a lot of code hidden in opensource projects that claims to teach us design solutions, architectural patterns, idioms or naïve application of existing patterns and a set of principles and practices.

		The approximately 250 different architectural titles and 40 furniture titles published were a principal means for the transmission of London designs throughout the English-speaking world, and they deserve much of the credit for the pleasing proportions and quality construction that characterize Georgian architecture and furniture, be it from London, Dublin, or Philadelphia.
		American pieces directly influenced by pattern books are, however, very much the exception, for most colonial furniture conforms more to regional styles than to pattern-book designs.
		The reason for this is that the fashion for the Rococo—an ornamental style promulgated through design books—coincided with a period of growing tension between England and her colonies during the 1760s.
