We propose the notion of visual design pattern (VDP), which is a visual abstraction representing design aspects in parallel data-flow programs. VDP serves as a flexible and high-level structure of reuse for visual parallel programming. We introduced the support for this notion into the visual parallel programming environment, KLIEG, allowing definition and use of patterns with simple and easy interface.
