One of the most promising approaches in developing component-based (possibly distributed) systems is that of coordination models and languages. Coordination programming enjoys a number of advantages such as the ability to ...

This paper argues for an alternative way of designing coordination models for parallel and distributed environments based on a complete symmetry between and decoupling of producers and consumers, as well as a clear distinction ...

A new class of models, formalisms, and mechanisms has recently evolved for describing concurrent and distributed computations based on the concept of "CO-ordination." The purpose of a coordination model and associated ...

This paper combines work done in the areas of asynchronous timed computations and coordination models in order to derive a framework able to express real-time coordination without adhering to special architectures or ...

Coordination programming helps to separate concerns in the programming of the coordination activities in complex applications software. It separates the development, verification, maintenance, and reuse of the coordination ...

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the use of a new concept in component communication, expressed by the channel based coordination language called ρέω, in the coordination of Web Services. The role of ρέω is to ...
