My understanding of interface-driven development is that the entire software development cycle is focused on creating a usable user interface.
The user is the major focus of this type of development. What can the user do and how do they do it. This type of development is usually very agile (see wikipedia.com for definition) and involves a lot of communication with the users to ensure that the application has an appropriate look and feel. All requirements are gathered through prototyping the system and determining the next step.
The danger of this type of development is that the user usually sees a prototype and decides that the application is complete, when in all reality the prototype may be missing certain key pieces.

Interface driven functionality in nanolayered materials
Interface effect on magnetic properties of Cu/Au/Co/Au multilayers
Methods of tailoring magnetic anisotropy of ultra thin films have potential applications as high density information storage device or sensors. Preliminary studies have shown that one can vary magnetic anisotropy of thin Co films by changing the thickness of Au under layer.
Cu/Au/Co/Au nanolayer thin films have been grown epitaxially on Si substrates using molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) technique. Two sets of nanolayers were grown using this technique. The only difference between the two sets is the thickness of Au under layer is either 2 monolayer (ML) or 6 ML.
A schematic of stacking sequence in Cu/Au/Co/Au nanolayers prepared by molecular beam epitaxy technique.
