Scientific Engineering for Distributed Java Applications : International Workshop, Fidji 2002. Luxembourg, Luxembourg, November 28-29, 2002 : Proceedings

FIDJI 2002 was an international forum for researchers and practitioners in- rested in the advances in, and applications of, software engineering for distri- ted application development. Concerning the technologies, the workshop focused on "Java-related" technologies. It was an opportunity to present and observe the latest research, results, and ideas in these areas. All papers submitted to this workshop were reviewed by at least two members of the International Program Committee. Acceptance was based primarily on the originality and contribution. We selected for these postworkshop proceedings 16 papers amongst 33 submitted, two tutorials, and two keynotes. FIDJI 2002 was aimed at promoting a scienti?c approach to software engin- ring. The scope of the workshop included the following topics: - design of distributed Java applications - Java-related technologies - software and system architecture engineering and development methodo- gies - development methodologies for UML - development methodologies for reliable distributed systems - component-based development methodologies - management of evolutions/iterations in the analysis, design, implementation, and test phases - dependability support during system lifecycle - managing inconsistencies during application development - atomicity and exception handling in system development - software architectures, frameworks, and design patterns for developing d- tributed systems - integration of formal techniques in the development process - formal analysis and grounding of modeling notation and techniques (e. g.
