“…These relations can be used to validate the completeness and consistency of a feature model [5] . Based on feature models, an initial SA model can be designed by identifying responsibilities for each component and analyzing dependencies among requirements [6] . The initial SA model is the input for the later phase of architecting, composition and maintenance.…”

As a new software paradigm evolved by the Internet, Internetware brings many challenges for the traditional software development methods and techniques. Though architecture-based component composition (ABC) approach is originated in the traditional software paradigm, it supports the engineering of Internetware effectively due to its philosophy, rationales and mechanisms. ABC has three major contributions to the engineering of Internetware in detail. First, the feature oriented domain modeling method can structure the "disordered" "software entities" to "ordered Internetware" bottom-up in the problem space. Second, the architecture centric design and analysis method can support the development of self-adaptive Internetware. Third, the component operating platform is a reflective and self-adaptive middleware that not only provides Internetware with a powerful and flexible runtime infrastructure but also enables the self-adaptation of the structure and individual entities of Internetware.The Internet development brings new challenges to the information technology which requires innovation of the present technologies, meanwhile, it produces multi-hotspot fields about information technology research and practice. For example, the grid management discusses the future application and construction model for the network systems from the perspective of resource sharing and management; from the perspective of humancomputer interaction, the pervasive computing discusses how future network applications will be used and operated ubiquitously; the service computing emphasizes the idea of "software as a service" and proposes a new software paradigm that pays special attention to the coordination and dynamism of services; the model-driven development is based on domain-specific code generation and focuses on middleware-based development methods and techniques. Almost all of the work can be considered as attempts to review, rethink and evolve the information technology from some new perspectives. Similarly, Internetware grounds itself in the open, dynamic and ever-changing Internet

“…In general [9] , the definition of a feature can be viewed from two aspects: in intension, a feature is a cohesive set of individual requirements; in extension, a feature is a user/customer-visible characteristic of a software system. Requirements in CIM can then be partitioned into a set of features.…”

Model driven architecture (MDA) is an evolutionary step in software development. Model transformation forms a key part of MDA. The transformation from computation independent model (CIM) to platform independent model (PIM) is the first step of the transformation. This paper proposes an approach for this transformation with pattern. In this approach, we take advantage of "reuse" from various standpoints. Feature model is used to describe the requirement of the application. This can help us bring "reuse" into effect at requirement level. Moreover we use pattern to transform CIM to PIM. This can help us bring "reuse" into effect at development level. Meanwhile, pattern was divided into four hierarchies. Different hierarchies of pattern are used to help us utilize reuse at different phase of development. From another standpoint, feature model describes the problem of a domain while pattern describe the problem across domains. This can help us reuse the element in and across domains. Finally, the detailed process of the transformation is given.
