General talk about software patterns

["Mandana" <mandanas AT ece.ubc.ca>]

Dear all,

 

My apologies for duplicate copies. I am a PhD student at the department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of British Columbia. My thesis is on conceptual modeling and model interoperability in the domain of disaster response and I am looking into the possibility of using patterns to facilitate interoperability among high-level models (conceptual models) that are used in the information systems for this domain. I am new to the patterns world and appreciate if you let me know whether you are aware of any groups that use patterns for this purpose or any comments or advice that may help me in that regard.

 

Thank you very much for your time and consideration.

 

Regards,

 

Mandana
