Correctness of model-based software composition (CMC). Proceedings. ECOOP 2003 Workshop #11 in association with the 17th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming, Darmstadt, Germany, July 22, 2003

This proceedings contains the contributions to the Workshop on
Correctness of Model-based Software Composition, held in
conjunction with the 17th European Conference on Object-Oriented
Programming (ECOOP), Darmstadt, Germany on July 22, 2003.
While most events concentrate on realisations of composition on
the technological level this workshop aims at closing the gap of
ensuring the intended composition result supported by the usage
of models.

Two important problems in composition are first how to model the
different assets (such as components, features or aspects) and
second the composition of assets such that consistency and
correctness is guaranteed. The first problem has been addressed
in the Workshop on Model-based Software Reuse (ECOOP 2002). The
latter problem occurs when dealing with, e.g., component
interoperability, aspect weaving, feature interaction and (on a
more abstract level) traceability between different views or
models.
One approach to deal with the composition problem is to use
models allowing to model the composition. This allows checking
the interoperability of the different assets to compose, the
correctness of the configuration of assets and predicting
... mehrproperties of the assembled system (especially compliance with
user requirements). In case of problem detection suitable
resolution algorithms can be applied.

10 reviewed contributions give an overview about current
research directions in correctness of model-based software
compositions.
Results from the discussions during the workshop may be found in
the ECOOP 2003 workshop reader to be published by Springer LNCS.

Affiliated to previous ECOOP conferences a related workshop
about feature interaction (ECOOP 2001) and an additional about
model-based software reuse (ECOOP 2002) have been held. Their
contributions are published as technical report No. 2001-14 and
as technical report No. 2002-4, respectively, at the
Universitaet Karlsruhe, Fakultaet fuer Informatik.
