Abstract :
We propose the notion of a visual design pattern (VDP), which is a visual abstraction representing design aspects in parallel data-flow programs. VDP serves as a flexible and high-level structure of reuse for visual parallel programming. We introduced the support for this notion into the visual parallel programming environment, KLIEG, allowing definition and use of patterns with a simple and easy to use interface
