ABSTRACT
Architectural patterns are a key point in architectural documenta-
tion. Regrettably, there is poor support for modeling architectural
patterns, because the pattern elements are not directly matched by
elements in modeling languages, and, at the same time, patterns
support an inherent variability that is hard to model using a sin-
gle modeling solution. This paper proposes tackling this problem
by finding and representing architectural primitives, as the partici-
pants in the solutions that patterns convey. In particular, we exam-
