Relating patterns and reference architectures

Both patterns and reference architectures aim to describe solutions to be reused for the software systems development. Despite that, they have a lot of differences and have been investigated separately. The objective of this paper is to discuss the relationship between them, how they can be complementary, while respecting their respective peculiarities. We also discuss how patterns can support the creation of reference architectures and how reference architectures can be a source for pattern mining.
