3. History of Design PatternHistory of Design Pattern
• In 1994, Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-
Oriented Software by Erich Gamma, Richard Helm, Ralph
Johnson and John Vlissides explained the usefulness of
patterns and resulted in the widespread popularity of design
patterns.
• These four authors together are referred to as the Gang of Four
(GoF).

• Design patterns are recurring solutions to software design
problems you find again and again in real-world application
development

• Design patterns represent solutions to problems that arise
when developing software within a particular context

5. Types of PatternTypes of Pattern
There are 3 types of pattern
• Creational: address problems of creating an object in a
flexible way. Separate creation, from operation/use.
• Structural: address problems of using O-O constructs like
inheritance to organize classes and objects
• Behavioral: address problems of assigning responsibilities to
classes. Suggest both static relationships and patterns of
communication (use cases)

Creational Patterns
(concerned with abstracting the object-instantiation process)
• Factory Method Abstract Factory Singleton
• Builder Prototype
Structural Patterns

structures)

• Proxy
Behavioral Patterns
(concerned with communication between objects)

7. AdapterAdapter
• Convert the interface of a class into another interface clients
expect
• Adapter lets classes work together that couldn't otherwise
because of incompatible interfaces
• Use the Adapter pattern when:
– you want to use an existing class and its interface does not
match the one you need
– you need to use several existing subclasses, but it's
impractical to adapt their interface by subclassing
everyone. An object adapter can adapt the interface of its
parent class

9. BridgeBridge
• Decouple an abstraction from its implementation so that the
two can vary independently
• Use the Bridge pattern when:
– you want run-time binding of the implementation
– you want to share an implementation among multiple
objects
• Decouple an abstraction from its implementation so that the
two can vary independently
• Use the Bridge pattern when:
– you want run-time binding of the implementation
– you want to share an implementation among multiple
objects

11. CompositeComposite
• Compose objects into tree structures to represent whole-part
hierarchies. Composite lets clients treat individual objects and
compositions of objects uniformly
• Use this pattern whenever you have "composites that contain
components, each of which could be a composite".

13. DecoratorDecorator
• Attach additional responsibilities to an object dynamically
• Decorators provide a flexible alternative to subclassing for
extending functionality

14. ProblemsProblems
• Several classes with a similar operation (method), but
different behavior.
• We want to use many combinations of these behaviors

different behavior.

15. Example - Automated HospitalExample - Automated Hospital
• People come to the reception with problems
• They describe their problems
• A special doctoRobot is created that is specialized to treat
their special situations.

17. Problems with solution-1Problems with solution-1
• Sometimes we don’t have multiple inheritance.
• Even if we have, if is problematic, and bad design.

20. FacadeFacade
• Provide a unified interface to a set of interfaces in a subsystem
• Facade defines a higher-level interface that makes the
subsystem easier to use
• Create a class that is the interface to the subsystem
• Clients interface with the Facade class to deal with the
subsystem
• It hides the implementation of the subsystem from clients
• It promotes weak coupling between the subsystems and its
clients
• It does not prevent clients from using subsystems class, should
it?

22. FlyweightFlyweight
• Use sharing to support large numbers of fine-grained objects
efficiently
• The pattern can be used when:
– The program uses a large number of objects and
– The program does not use object identity (==)

efficiently

– The program does not use object identity (==)

24. ProxyProxy
• Provide a surrogate or placeholder for another object to
control access to it.
• The proxy has the same interface as the original object
• Virtual Proxy:
– Creates/accesses expensive objects on demand
– You may wish to delay creating an expensive object until it
is really accessed
– It may be too expensive to keep entire state of the object in
memory at one time

control access to it.

25. • Protection Proxy
– Provides different objects different level of access to
original object
• Cache Proxy (Server Proxy)
– Multiple local clients can share results from expensive
operations: remote accesses or long computations
• Firewall Proxy
– Protect local clients from outside world

27. Benefits
• Flexible
• Don’t have to foresee all combinations
• Little objects
Possible problems
• Performance
• Decorators are not necessarily always cummutative
(surgeon and Anastasiolic)
