Abstract	The Interpreter design pattern provides an elegant and natural way of implementing systems based on term-rewriting in a OO fashion. The idea is simply associating each term of a language, either terminal or non-terminal, with a corresponding class provided with a suitable simplify() method.Reducing a term to a normal form is thus performed through a series of recursive calls to such a method.The main weakness of this approach is that it does not take into account similarities existing among different domains, thus enforcing programmers to pollute generic and domain-specific rules. The resulting code if often wordy, hard to maintain, non-reusable. In this paper we adapt the Interpreter pattern so that a clean separation between generic (common to different domains) and domain-specific rules is possible. The new pattern significantly helps design even complex rewriting systems. A running example which refers to a generic Logical domain is used throughout the paper. An application to High Level Petri nets analysis is sketched. Without any loss of generality we refer to Java as representative of a large class of languages.
