Abstract:
Relevant patterns in system architecture have a very broad validity. Identifying or leveraging them across application fields is challenging, though. System architects sufficiently knowledgeable in another field have to establish analogies with their own experience to confirm patterns. To let such discoveries happen by serendipity is inefficient. A systemic framework of a priori transformations guides the investigators mining models. From the repeating discoveries emerges a formal pattern. This method is illustrated by the transfer content pattern. Systemically mining for the content transfer pattern brought up variants only seen in field occurrences.
