How to Use IBM Rational Software Architect to Create Composite Patterns: Model-Driven Development Using Rational Software Architect Patterns

Patterns are often related, thus used together to create larger architectures and designs. For example, imagine that one is responsible for solving a problem that requires applying multiple patterns, and that one will be solving this same problem repeatedly, each time with essentially the same set of patterns. The efficient...
