5th International Conference on Coordination Models and Languages
Your, UK, 08/04/2002–11/04/2002

The need for increased programmer productivity and rapid development of complex systems provide the pragmatic motivation for the development of coordination languages and models. The intellectual excitement associated with such endeavors is rooted in the decades-old desire to leverage off increasingly higher levels of abstractions. Coordination-based methods provide a clean separation between individual software components and their interaction within the overall software organization. This separation makes large applications more tractable, supports global analysis, and enhances reuse of software.

Building on the success of the last four editions, this conference provides a forum for the growing community of researchers interested in models, languages, and implementation techniques for coordination.
