Feature interaction detection contest of the Fifth International Workshop on Feature Interactions

Abstract A feature interaction detection contest was held for the Fifth International Workshop on Feature Interactions. The contest had two phases. The first phase required the contestants to analyze interactions among ten features, which were published on 15 February 1998, and to submit their results by 15 July 1998. The second phase, begun on 15 July 1988, required analysis of the interactions among two new features and the original 10, to be submitted by 1 August 1988. Six contestants submitted entries, to be judged in August and September, with the winner to be announced at the workshop. This body of this paper outlines the contest instructions.
