4. Chain of responsibility DP
• What
• A replication of the business or functional process of
delegating responsibility within a hierarchy.
• Where
• A requirement to manage tasks by coordinating objects and
have them cooperate within a hierarchical structure.
• Why
• Avoid coupling sender of request to receiver
• How
• An abstract class that represents a participant or link is sub-
classed into a set of links, and then the sub-classed links
implement the functionality that represents their responsibility
and can trigger the passing on of a requirement. The client
determines the hierarchy among the links and initiates
passing the requirement to the chain.

10. Command DP
(object - Behavioral DP)

11. Command DP
(object - Behavioral DP)
• What
• Encapsulate a request as an object, and support
undoable operations.
• Where
• To issue requests to objects without knowing anything
about the operation being requested or the receiver of the
request.
• Why
• specify, queue, and execute requests at different
times. support undo. support logging changes

16. Command DP
(object - Behavioral DP)
• Supporting undo and redo:
• Must provide a reverse method (Unexecute/Undo).
• Might need to store additional state like the Receiver
object, the arguments to the operation performed on
the receiver, and any original values in the receiver that
can change as a result of handling the request.
• For one level of undo, store only the last executed
command.
• For multi-level undo, store a history list of executed
commands.

17. Mediator DP
(object - Behavioral DP)
• What
• Define an object that encapsulates how a set of objects
interact. Mediator promotes loose coupling by keeping objects
from referring to each other explicitly, and it lets you vary their
interaction independently.
• Where
• when many objects interconnect, to lessen the coupling
• Why
• To lessen the coupling between objects
• How
• Encapsulating collective behavior in a separate mediator
object. A mediator is responsible for controlling and
coordinating the interactions of a group of objects. The
objects only know the mediator, thereby reducing the number
of interconnections.

• Façade make requests to the
subsystem, while mediator enables
cooperative behaviour between colleagues
objects

25. MeMento DP
(object - Behavioral DP)
• What
• capture and externalize an object's internal state so
that the object can be restored to this state later.
• Where
• To store a snapshot of internal state of an object, to
implement checkpoints
• Why
• To implement checkpoints, save state, undo
mechanisms
• How

28. MeMento DP
(object - Behavioral DP)
• Memento objects are passive
• Memento can be used to maintain state for
undoable operations for Command DP
• Used in Games to store check points

29. Observer DP
(object - Behavioral DP)

30. Observer DP
(object - Behavioral DP)
• What
• An Observer pattern is a design based on a one-to-many
relationship, where one is a publisher that publishes an event
against which many subscribers register an interest.
• Where
• A requirement to initiate and manage communications among a
society of objects.
• Why
• To programmatically establish and manage a set of relationships
among objects at run time.
• How
• Create a subject object (publisher) and any number of observer
objects (subscribers), and then wire an event handler in the observer
objects to an event in the subject object. In .NET, we use a delegate
event-handling model to wire the observer objects to the publisher's
event—delegates simplify the architecture articulated by GoF.

33. Observer DP

34. State DP
(object - Behavioral DP)
• What
• Allow an object to alter its behavior when its internal
state changes. The object will appear to change its
class.
• Where
• An object's behavior depends on its state, and it
must change its behavior at run-time depending on
that state.
• Why
• This lets you treat the object's state as an object in
its own right that can vary independently from other
objects.

35. State DP
(object - Behavioral DP)

36. State DP
(object - Behavioral DP)

37. Strategy DP
(object-behavioural DP)
• What
• A design that presents a family of algorithms or business rules
encapsulated in classes that can be swapped.
• Where
• A requirement for the contextual implementation of different
algorithms or business rules without the use of conditional
code.
• Why
• A design that separates the choice of algorithm or business
rule from its implementation and delegates the contextual
choice of algorithm or business rule to client code.
• How
• Design an abstract strategy class that includes an abstract
method from which an algorithm may be called. Prepare a
context class to contain an abstract strategy class and then
code the client to choose the strategy and inform the context

38. Strategy DP
(object-behavioural DP)

39. Template Method DP
(Class - Behavioral DP)
• What
• Need subclasses to house different implementations of an
algorithm and defer part of the implementation to the
subclass.
• Where
• A requirement for a common structure to house an
algorithm, while vary the implementation of the algorithm.
• Why
• A default implementation that has the flexibility for a subclass
to vary the underlying algorithm within the implementation.
• How
• An abstract class exposes a Template Method that wraps a set

40. Template Method DP
(Class - Behavioral DP)

41. Template Method DP
(Class - Behavioral DP)

42. Template Method DP
(Class - Behavioral DP)
• Factory Methods are often called by template
methods. (DoCreateDocument called by
OpenDocument).
• Template methods use inheritance to vary part of
an algorithm. Strategies use delegation to vary
the entire algorithm.
