Scope and themes

The ICE workshop theme is centred on interaction and composition in component-based systems. The core question is how to describe and reason about global behaviour when a system is built from independently designed parts. Useful approaches include behavioural interfaces, contracts, coordination models, and verification workflows.

This landing page keeps the themes in a form that is easy to link: it does not aim to replicate full call documents, but instead provides a navigable summary and internal reading pointers.
