Abstract
Analysis patterns are patterns used in the analysis phase of software systems development. Like any other patterns, e. g., design patterns; analysis patterns are recurring combinations of meaningful units that occur in some context. When comparing to design patterns, however, analysis patterns are about semantics, i. e., they consist of entities with their relationships that have some meaning in a domain. In the article analysis patterns are introduced from three points of view: abstraction, flexibility and granularity. Then fundamental patterns for modeling an enterprise are described. Finally, some specializations of these patterns with applications in real-world projects are shown.
