Choosing the right design pattern: an implicit culture approach

Design patterns represent solutions to problems that have been proved to be useful in different contexts and can be reused. An experienced programmer can choose a suitable pattern for a given problem effectively. However, for an inexperienced programmer this is a very hard task. We propose a multi-agent system that supports programmers in choosing the design pattern suitable for the given problem. Personal agents in our system produce knowledge transfer among users, allowing for the reuse of experience in choosing design patterns.
