Pattern avoidance and K-orbit closures

. We extend the characterization of smooth and rationally smooth classical Schubert varieties by pattern avoidance to classical symmetric vari- eties. We also parametrize these varieties combinatorially and show how to compute the partial order by containment of closures on them.
