Abstract

Pattern composition has been recognized as a key element for the adoption of pattern languages and systems. This paper discusses the challenges of structural pattern composition and proposes an approach for role-based pattern composition, with two alternative composition mechanisms. To demonstrate the applicability of the proposed composition model, we have extended an existing pattern-driven architecting environment with an implementation of the approach.
