  - The classical (boolean) notion of refinement for behavioral interfaces of system
    components is the alternating refinement preorder. In this paper, we define a
    quantitative measure for interfaces, called interface simulation distance. It
    makes the alternating refinement preorder quantitative by, intu- itively, tolerating
    errors (while counting them) in the alternating simulation game. We show that
    the interface simulation distance satisfies the triangle inequality, that the
    distance between two interfaces does not increase under parallel composition with
    a third interface, and that the distance between two interfaces can be bounded
    from above and below by distances between abstractions of the two interfaces.
    We illustrate the framework, and the properties of the distances under composition
    of interfaces, with two case studies.@eng
