      A Game-Theoretic Model for Distributed Programming by Contract

      Henriksen, A. S., Hvitved, T. & Filinski, Andrzej, 2009, Workshop on Games, Business Processes and Models of Interaction: We present an extension of the programming-by-contract (PBC) paradigmto a concurrent and distributed environment. Classical PBC is characterized by absoluteconformance of code to its specification, assigning blame in case of failures, anda hierarchical, cooperative decomposition model – none of which extend naturally toa distributed environment with multiple administrative peers. We therefore propose amore nuanced contract model based on quantifiable performance of implementations;assuming responsibility for success, and a fundamentally adversarial model of systemintegration, where each component provider is optimizing its behavior locally, withrespect to potentially conflicting demands. This model gives rise to a game-theoreticformulation of contract-governed process interactions that supports compositional reasoningabout contract conformance.
