Third International Workshop, FIDJI 2003, Luxembourg-Kirchberg, Luxembourg, November 27-28, 2003, Revised Papers

FIDJI 2003 was an international forum for researchers and practitioners in- rested in the advances in, and applications of, software engineering for distri- ted applicationdevelopment. Concerningthe technologies, the workshopfocused on "Java-related" technologies. It was an opportunity to present and observe the latest research, results, and ideas in these areas.

We selected, for these post-workshop proceedings, 14 papers, amongst 29 submitted, two tutorials, and one keynote talk. FIDJI2003aimedatpromotingascienti?capproachtosoftwareengineering. 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 — managementofevolutions/iterationsintheanalysis, design, implementation, and test phases — dependability support during system life-cycles — 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. , UML, metamodeling) — supporting the security requirements of distributed applications in the — velopment process — refactoring methods — industrial and academic case studies — development and analysis tools Theorganization of such a workshop represents an important amount of work.
