Automatic code generation from design patterns
Abstract
Design patterns raise the abstraction level at which people design and communicate design of object-oriented software. However, the mechanics of implementing design patterns is left to the programmer. This paper describes the architecture and implementation of a tool that automates the implementation of design patterns. The user of the tool supplies application-specific information for a given pattern, from which the tool generates all the pattern-prescribed code automatically. The tool has a distributed architecture that lends itself to implementation with off-the-shelf components.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
