Adapting Component Behaviours Using Interface Automata

One of the principal goal of Component-Based Software Engineering (CBSE) is to allow the reuse of components in diverse situations without affecting their codes. To reach this goal, it is necessary to propose approaches to adapt a component with its environment when behavioural mismatches occur during their interactions. In this paper, we present a formal approach based on interface automata to adapt components in order to eliminate possible behavioural mismatches, and then insure more flexible interoperability between components.
