Abstract

Software patterns are used to facilitate the reuse of object-oriented designs. While most CASE (Computer Aided Software Engineering) tools support the use of UML (Unified Modeling Language) [AO98] to extract the design from the software engineer and assist in development, most do not provide assistance in the integration and code generation of software patterns. In this paper, we analyze the Iterator software pattern [Gamma95] for the semantics that would be used in a CASE design tool to help the software engineer to integrate this pattern into the design and then generate some of the code needed to implement the pattern. This work is based upon semantic data modeling techniques that were previously proposed for the design of active databases [BMPV97, PMD95].
