Bad smells in design and design patterns

By: Cédric Bouhours, Hervé Leblanc, Christian Percebois

Abstract

We have wittingly chosen to represent a design pattern as a class diagram (inspired from the structure section of the GOF catalog), only with pattern participants as class name and inter-classes relations (association and inheritance links). Indeed, since we are at the design level, we are interested in the architecture of the pattern (classes and relations between them).
