BACKGROUND:

A main goal of the BehAPI network is to facilitate the interactions
between academia and industry by equipping API platforms with models,
languages, and tools to support API-based software.  In this context,
the school will feature theoretical and practical sessions on the
following topics centred on the concept of behavioural APIs.

The school offers a nice mix of courses from academia and
industry. Many courses will be supported by practical hands-on
sessions with state-of-the-art tools and technology. The school will
also host a bootcamp where companies will showcase their approaches to
API development with hands-on sessions.
