Framework Adaptive Composition Environment},
volume = {1301},
year = {1997},
abstract = {Tools incorporating design patterns combine the
advantage of having a high-abstraction level of
describing a system and the possibility of coupling
these abstractions to some underlying implementation.
Still, all current tools are based on generating
source code in which the design patterns become
implicit. After that, further extension and
adaptation of the software is needed but this can no
longer be supported at the same level of abstraction.
This paper presents FACE, an environment based on an
explicit representation of design patterns,
sustaining an incremental development style without
abandoning the higher-level design pattern
abstraction. A visual composition tool for FACE has
been developed in the Self programming language.},
