Importance of Interfaces. At one time, modularity in the software world was principally motivated by the need to divide a big job into manageable tasks. The interfaces of your module worked with the modules of the people in the neighboring cubicles it was easy to discuss any issues about the interfaces. In a culture that reuses the pieces, you are unlikely to know all the components that yours will connect to You must therefore be much more careful about your interface definitions (and about reading those of others). 

Besides polymerization, another type of polyreaction can be used for stabilizing model membrane systems. Recently, Fukuda et al.28) described polyamide formation via polycondensation in monolayers at the gas/water interface (definition of mono-layers see Sect. 3.2). Long-chain esters of glycine and alanine were polycondensed to yield non-oriented polyamide films of polyglycine and polyalanine.

As OWL supports the access and inclusion of ontology files via http // web addresses, the web interface of the PDW is able to offer the appropriate files for direct opening in OWL tools such as Protege [979]. Semantic Web Services [831] as the coming standard for Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) may also be used here. By extending the syntactical interfaces definitions with their semantics, the semantic models can be directly integrated with the transfer mechanism. 

These concepts are implemented in the integration platform CHEOPS Component-Based Hierarchical Explorative Open Process Simulator) [252, 409, 462]. The platform provides generic component prototypes and interfaces for the integration of models, solvers, and tools. The generic components are instantiated at run-time by concrete software components and classes representing actual unit operation models, solvers, etc. That way, arbitrary components from the list of available components can be used in the simulation. The list of model and solver components can easily be extended with the components that comply with the abstract structure and interface definitions. 

To enrich the expressiveness of a given interface to be wrapped, Jacobsen and Kramer modified CORBA IDL (interface definition language) [877] to add specifications of semantic properties, to facilitate a wrapper s source code to be extended by additional semantic checks automatically [765]. For wrapping tools in an a-priori manner, i.e. in these cases where the semantics of the tool s interface is well-known, such descriptions are applicable for synthesizing the wrapper. Unfortunately, in the context of a-posteriori integration the semantic properties to be specified for generating the wrapper are unknown. This was one reason for developing our interface exploration tool. 

It is important to note that existing technologies such as Web services can turn a local system into a distributed one by making it either a consumer or producer of a particular flavor of Web services. However, these constitute extensions to the existing architecture (rather than a part of the original design), are dependent on third-party interface definitions, and are unable to evolve on their own. Therefore, they are discussed separately for the purpose of this chapter. 

Examples of graphics applications interface standards are the Graphics Kernel System (GKS) (i6) and the Programmer s Hierarchical Interactive Graphics System (PHIGS) (7) Specific interface definitions are part of both GKS and PHIGS. For the device driver interface, examples are the North American Presentation Level Protocol Syntax (NAPLPS) ( ) and the Computer Graphics Interface (CGI) (9).

Object interface definitions using OMGs Interface Definition Language (IDL)... 

The enterprise plans and implements the functions of interface definition, interface control, interface compatibility assessments, and interface coordination. Data pertinent to interface management are readily accessible throughout the system life cycle. The enterprise establishes and maintains interface working groups to process, review, and make recommendations on approval of interface changes. 

Third generation RPC— Java RMI is conceptually similar to the second generation but supports the semantics of object invocation in different address spaces that are built for Java only [15]. Java RMI fits cleanly into the language with no need for standardized data representation, external interface definition language, and with behavioural transfer that allows remote objects to perform operations that are determined at mntime ... 

The port and interface definitions of architectural components therefore facilitate the construction of complex functionality by the composition of components and protocols. 

All components are developed using the CAPE-OPEN Component Object Module (COM) interface definition language (IDL), and have passed CAPE-OPEN tests available through the CAPE-OPEN Laboratories Network(CO-LaN). 

To these stages are added the classic stages of each IT project, namely analysis of user requirements, definition of requirements, functional analysis, definition of external interfaces, definition and design of the architecture, development, on-site installation, functional testing, etc. A classical V cycle was followed. 

Not all objects are written in the same language and running on the same machine. So in distributed environment and in order to have interface among all different objects, the only solution is to separate the interface (how the objects communicate with each other) from the implementation (how the object performs its job). This is done using Interface Definition Language (IDL).
