ABSTRACT	This paper describes an approach to evaluating the structural conformance of a UML class diagram to a design pattern. A design pattern is specified in an extension of the UML that defines the pattern as a family of models. A pattern specification consists of a set of pattern roles where a role specifies the properties of a pattern participant. The approach uses a divide-and-conquer method to evaluate pattern conformance. In the approach a pattern and the model being evaluated are decomposed into blocks. Then, the model blocks are evaluated for conformance to the role blocks in the pattern. When all individual role blocks are satisfied by the model blocks, the pattern as a whole is considered to evaluate the entire conformance of the model. A major benefit of this approach is the support for variations of pattern realizations through the notion of pattern roles. We illustrate the approach using the Visitor pattern and a price calculator, and demonstrate a prototype tool that supports the approach. 1.	SVM HeaderParse 0.2
