Teller 1992, Clark 1996 and Bedau 1997, for instance, all run together instances of "pattern discovery"—a subjective, observer-dependent activity with instances of intrinsic emergence a phenomenon that, as we have just seen, can be characterized in the context of CA as objective and statistically significant (see the relevant Section of the entry on Emergent properties).
While for forward engineering the benefits of using design patterns are clear, using reverse engineering technologies to discover instances of patterns in a software artifact (e.g., design or code) may help in several key areas, among which are program understanding, design-to-code traceability and quality assessment.
His basic strategy is to attempt to show that the derivations we regard as good or acceptable explanations are instances of patterns that taken together score better according to the criteria just described than the patterns instantiated by the derivations we regard as defective explanations.
Therefore, further studies are necessary and they require switching from the abstract view of a topological pattern to the level of their various representatives, the instances of a pattern.
Except for the pattern ID = 14, the pairwise disconnectivity index varies considerably for the instances of a pattern in this network.
We find that the average pairwise disconnectivity index of all instances of a pattern reflects this appropriately and define (2) as the pairwise disconnectivity index of a pattern that consists of J instances.
Although multiple-Theme pattern was minimally used in the two data sets, the tutor's text more often included instances of this pattern than did the students, 7.74 and 1.49 % respectively.
The tutor's text in the present study more often included instances of this pattern than did the students, 1.49 and 7.74%% respectively.
Assuming the system knows that all instances of this pattern express an abstract bornIn relation, it can derive a matching relation instance asserting that Goethe was born in Frankfurt.
If one understands ad hominem as a pattern of argument (providing reasons for the conclusion that one should dismiss or be sceptical of someone's point of view), then one must find a method for distinguishing between instances of this pattern which are and are not acceptable.
Moreover, P b[ x i(m o)] is the frequency of occurrence of the m o-gram obtained over the instances of the pattern within a background sequence.
