18:30 - 19:00 Discussion and Conclusions

Aims and scope While available component-oriented platforms address software interoperability at the signature level, the way to describe and reason on the (concurrent) interactive behaviours of components is still an open research issue. The scope of the workshop is the application of formal methods to develop well-founded methodologies for validating and certifying software compositions. The aim of the workshop is to provide a forum for discussing the application of formal methods to different aspects of component interaction such as compatibility, replaceability or adaptation. Contributions on different aspects of component interaction, such as specification, analysis, verification, design, and implementation are welcome.

Submissions

Perspective authors are invited to submit an extended abstract of their papers, presenting original contributions to the workshop theme. Submissions should be in English and not exceed 15 pages. They should be sent as PS or PDF files to fmci@di.unipi.it
