Orc and Reo are two complementary approaches to the problem of coordinating components or services. On one hand, Orc is highly asynchronous, naturally dynamic, and based on epheme...
Event-based systems are developed and used as a coordination model to integrate components in loosely coupled systems. Research and product development focused so far on efficienc...
As a case study that illustrates our view on coordination and component-based software engineering, we present the design and implementation of a parallel constraint solver. The pa...
A new class of models, formalisms and mechanisms has recently evolved for describing concurrent and distributed computations based on the concept of “coordination”. The purpos...
One view holds that organizations are virtual to the extent that they outsource key components of their production processes, and that electronic networks make it easier to do thi...
