Abstract

We present a technique for formalizing design patterns using a technique based on attribute grammars. The technique allows design pattern applications to be identified in the source code, and supports automatic checking that the pattern is applied correctly. We expect the technique to be particularly useful when specializing frameworks built using design patterns.
