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. Allpaperssubmittedtothisworkshopwerereviewedbyatleasttwomembers of the International Program Committee. Acceptance was based primarily on originality and contribution. 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 The organization of such a workshop represents an important amount of work.
