In this paper we present an approach to automatically mine Design Patterns in existing Object Oriented systems and to trace system’s source code components to the roles they play in the Patterns. The approach defines and exploits a model representing a Design Pattern by its high level structural Properties. It is possible to detect Pattern variants, by adequately overriding the Pattern structural properties. The approach was validated by applying it to some open-source systems.
