  One foundation of the model driven engineering (MDE) is to separate the
modelling application description from its technological implementation (i.e.
platform). Some of them are dedicated to the system execution. Hence, one
promise solution of the MDE is to automate transformations from platform
independent models to platform specific models. Little work has explicitly
described platform characteristics. Yet, an explicit modelling allows taking in
account their characteristics more easily (par ex., performances,
maintainability,portability). This paper presents both an execution platform
modelling state of art and a pattern to describe execution platform modelling
framework. It intends to confirm the feasibility and the interests in
describing an execution platform metamodel.
