Abstract
Integrating software components to produce large-scale software systems is an effective way to reuse experience and reduce cost. However, unexpected interactions among components when integrated into software systems are often the cause of failures. Discovering these composition errors early in the development process could lower the cost and effort in fixing them. This paper introduces a rigorous analysis approach to software design composition based on automated verification techniques. We show how to represent, instantiate and integrate design components, and how to find design composition errors using model checking techniques. We illustrate our approach with a Web-based hypermedia case study.
