The rapid evolution of Design Patterns has hampered the benefits gained from using Design
Patterns. The increase in the number of Design Patterns makes a common vocabulary
unmanageable, and the tracing problem obscures the documentation that should be
enhanced by using Design Patterns. We present an analysis of Design Patterns that will
strongly reduce the number of Fundamental Design Patterns and show how strong
