Abstract. Design patterns are a means to capture and reuse good practices and working solutions acquired by experts in various domains of specification and design. A lot of work has been done to try to express the solution part of design patterns in a computer understandable language but most of it is centered on the UML, especially on the Class diagrams. Model engineering techniques make it easier to design domain-specific languages and we think that design patterns can be identified in any engineering domain. So, a language able to describe accurately design pattern solutions for any specification or design language, along with its reuse process, would be of great interest. This paper presents Gipsie, a specification language that approaches, at an abstract level, this goal through the notion of generic roles, i.e. parameterized by any metamodel.

International audience—In the field of software technologies, the adoption of Service Oriented Architecture for IS has been accompanied by the introduction of new service component models which are well-suited to realize services. While these service components offer new capabilities to simplify the construction and maintenance of IS, the issue of their design needs to be further examined as current existing works do not sufficiently bridge the gap between requirements and service component models. In this paper, we present a multi-view framework to support the design of services along the development process. The framework is grounded on the notion of Logical Service Block which represents a service from Use case to assembly model and acts as a pivot between views ensuring the consistency and the traceability of services at different stages and levels of detail. The proposed framework has been implemented to provide a UML2 tool that helps designers in elaborating views and projecting services towards a specific platform like SCA
