Abstract

A software pattern is a great tool which perpetuates a proved knowledge on software engineering, and enables its reuses in different situations. The reuse of several patterns to elaborate a solution requires being aware of the relationships between patterns (inter-patterns relationships). These latter indicate what patterns can work together and in what manner. However, those relationships are difficult to discern when they are not explicitly mentioned within patterns, and their extraction is a hard task. In this context, the present paper exposes our approach of automatic inter-patterns relationships extraction, basing on a relationships analysis method.
