We are proposing an approach for applying design patterns that consists of recognizing occurrences of the modeling problem solved by the design pattern (problem pattern) in input models, which are then transformed according to the solution proposed by the design pattern (solution pattern). In this paper, we look at the issue of identifying instances of problem patterns in input models, and mark...

Many pattern discovery methods provide fast tools for finding the frequently occurring patterns in large data sets. Such pattern collections can also be used to approximate the underlying joint distribution, and they summarize the data set well. However, a large set of patterns is unintuitive and not necessarily easy to use. In this paper we consider the problem of ordering a collection of patt...
