| Abstract | Conceptual models have been developed for many domains and application types. Within each discipline, the mode and purpose of conveying the design is slightly different. For example, in the computing disciplines, the conceptual models are comprised of constructs that enable the domain expert and software engineer to represent an application with notations that permit understanding of the application domain and at the same time facilitate the mapping from this conceptualization to the code that implements it. Clear specification of the computational model along with the objects, structures, and rules is essential. In the engineering domain statis tical and mathematical models are used to permit concise and precise representa tion of the application to enable accurate analysis of the characteristics of the objects being modeled as well as an analysis of their performance. In the social sciences models utilize diagrammatic and verbal notations and attempt to describe the processes that effectively explain and predict human individual and group behaviors. The constructs used are not necessarily tied to computa tional or data driven constructs. In this paper we describe a pattern that describes an effective means of operating within a multidisciplinary group to develop a model for a common software prototype development goal The purpose is to provide a model integration pattern or technique that assists multidisciplinary teams to develop clear, precise and correct software design.
