Abstract:
Major steps of the design of distributed applications
  correspond to the integration of predefined patterns. To support such design
  steps, a concept for refinement by pattern composition is introduced which
  applies formal process composition and provides functions for the tool
  assisted construction and modification of specifications. The approach is
  based on L. Lamport's Temporal Logic of Actions TLA and the related theory of
  refinement mappings and system composition.
