Abstract

Many architecture and design patterns exist for enterprise software development. Nowadays interest of knowledge processing systems has been heightened, as these technologies can provide a valuable benefit for a company (e.g., supporting decision making). Nevertheless, the algorithms and technologies used in this domain can be complex and difficult to implement. Some parts can even outreach standard software development. This paper tries to identify similarities to enterprise systems and present a selection of existing design patterns that can be used to solve knowledge processing difficulties. The aim is to provide a pattern collection to allow also software designers and developers not familiar with knowledge processing principles, to easily design, implement and integrate such systems.
