Relationships between design patterns

The catalogue of design patterns from [Gamm94] contains about twenty design patterns and their mutual relationships. In this paper, we organize these relationships into different categories and revise the design patterns and their relationships. We are then able to arrange the design patterns in different layers. The results simplify the understanding of the overall structure of the catalogue, thereby making it easier to classify other design patterns, and to apply these design patterns to software development.
