Learning of temporal sequences is a topic of research in such different areas as speech and other temporal pattern recognition as well as motor control (for a survey see e.g. Mozer, 1993). In this paper an approach is presented which is particularly suitable for motor control due to the fact that it does not only reproduce temporal sequences in exactly the way they where learned but it is able ...

To what extent can design patterns be turned into reusable, off-the-shelf components, taking advantage of advanced language features? We reviewed the patterns described in the book Design Patterns by Gamma et al. [5], and established a new classification of these patterns by level of “componentizability” (possibility to transform a design pattern into a reusable component) [1]. This article rep...

There is an undeniable demand to capture already proven and matured object-oriented design so that building reusable object-oriented software does not always have to start from scratch. The term design pattern emerged as buzzword that is associated as a means to meet that goal. Already existing approaches such as the catalog of design patterns of Erich Gamma et al. [5, 6] and Peter Coad’s objec...
