PACO : un système de Patrons pour les Architectures COopératives

It’s often crucial to choose a good architecture to succeed in a project. This is even more so when it comes to modeling Cooperative Information Systems (CoIS). Whenever we deal with cooperation, the information system of an organization doesn’t depend neither on definite nor exhaustive conceptual choices. This makes it necessary to define methods and models that can fulfill the conceptual needs of cooperation designers. We have chosen the software architecture solution to organize the CoIS engineering. This solution offers to the designer techniques and modeling languages that express properties of component systems and their interactions. The solution we propose is based on a methodological guide that allows capitalization, organization and reuse of software architecture models adapted to CoIS .
