This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the Third International Workshop on Software Engineering and Middleware, SEM 2002, held in Orlando, FL, USA in May 2002 in collocation with ICSE 2002.
The 15 revised full papers presented together with an invited contribution and a concluding summary were carefully selected from 27 submissions during two rounds of reviewing and revision. The papers are organized in topical sections on architectures, specification, components and adaption, technologies, and services.
