Using meta-patterns to construct patterns

Abstract

International audienceThe pattern notion defines techniques allowing the existing knowledge reuse. Usually, the knowledge encapsulated in these patterns is stored in classic library repositories that quickly become overcrowded. To solve this problem, [1] proposes the use of process maps in order to organize and select them. But the completeness of the maps is a very important problem that has to be solved in order to offer a useful guidance to the method engineer. This paper proposes a guideline pattern construction technique guiding engineers when creating the maps
