The initial design of software systems is modelled using conceptual design language elements. When a refined ver sion of the design is made, each of the original (conceptual) elements is replaced by the refined element(s). Other feasi ble refinements are eliminated prematurely. This paper presents a software design approach, called CoCompose, that allows for defining several, lay ered, alternative refinements for each element in a design. The refinements are represented as structures of existing design language constructs, which makes it possible to ad dress advanced software development technologies such as aspect-oriented programming, component-based develop ment and design patterns without introducing new design language constructs. CoCompose uses an automated trans lation process to determine which refinements to use and to generate an implementation.
