  abstract = {Design patterns propose “good” solutions to recurring
            design problems in object-oriented architectures.
            Design patterns have been quickly adopted by the
            Software Engineering community and are now widely
            spread. We define design pattern defects as occurring
            errors in the design of a software that come from the
            absence or the bad use of design patterns. Design
            pattern defects are software defects at the architectural
            level that must be detected and corrected to improve
            software quality. Automatic detection and correction
            of these software architectural defects, which suffer of a
            lack of tools, are important to improve object-oriented
            architectures and, thus, to ease maintenance. We
            propose a first taxonomy of design pattern defects and
            presents techniques and tools to detect these defects in
            source code.}
