In component software, the independence of components is achieved by separating their interfaces from implementations. The interface definition of a component serves as the contr...
Abstract. Component based design is a new methodology for the construction of distributed systems and applications. In this new setting, a system is built by the assembly of (pre)-...
Component based design is a new paradigm to build distributed systems and applications. The problem of compositional verification of such systems is however still open. We investig...
In the context of Service Oriented Computing behavioural contracts are descriptions of the observable message-passing behaviour of services. In other terms, contracts are behaviour...
: Specifying behavioral specifications for components apart from the conventional syntactic interface specifications can be very useful in component based system development. Preco...
