Summary: Many formal approaches for pattern specification are emerging as a means to cope with the inherent shortcomings of informal description. This book presents multiple mathematical, formal approaches for pattern specification, emphasizing software development processes for engineering disciplines. It focuses on formalizing the solution element of patterns, providing tangible benefits to pattern users, researchers, scholars, academicians, practitioners and students working in the field of design patterns and software reuse. The book explains details of several specification languages, allowing readers to choose the most suitable formal technique to solve their specific inquiries.
