Description
Component-based design is widely considered as a major approach to developing systems in a time and cost effective way. Central in this approach is the notion of an interface. Interfaces summarize the externally visible properties of a component and are seen as a key to achieving component interoperability and to predict global system behavior based on the component behavior. To capture the intricacy of complex software products, rich interfaces have been proposed. These interfaces do not only specify syntactic properties, such as the signatures of methods and operations, but also take into account behavioral and extra-functional properties, such as quality of service, security and dependability. Rich interfaces have been proposed for describing, e.g., the legal sequences of messages or method calls accepted by components, or the resource and timing constraints in embedded software. The development of a rigorous framework for the specification and analysis of rich interfaces is challenging. The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers who are interested in the formal underpinnings of interface technologies.
Topics of interest:
FIT embraces an inclusive formula that emphasizes interaction and discussion. No formal proceedings shall be published, except for hard copies distributed to participants. You are encouraged to submit new results, work in progress, work already published, or work submitted for publication elsewhere. Submissions will be jugded on general quality and prospective interest to workshop participants. We are considering soliciting a special journal issue for selected papers after the workshop has been held.
