摘要：This article reports the DEPA (Design Pattern Application) model - a component-based model for applying design patterns (DP) in software development (SD). Prior research has suggested the usefulness of DP in large, complicated SD projects. However, there is still a lack of formal models with which a software engineer could apply DP to SD in a systematic way. The DEPA model is one such formal method that allows systematic applications of DP. We have also illustrated how the DEPA model works in a realistic setting. It shows that the model can be applied to various domains. Further research is suggested in order to develop other models of DP applications
