COORDINATION 2005

Modern information systems rely increasingly on combining concurrent, distributed, mobile, reconfigurable and heterogenous components. New models, architectures, languages, verification techniques are necessary to cope with the complexity induced by the demands of today's software development. Coordination languages have emerged as a successful approach, in that they provide abstractions that cleanly separate behavior from communication, therefore increasing modularity, simplifying reasoning, and ultimately enhancing software development. 

Building on the success of the previous editions, this conference provides a well-established forum for the growing community of researchers interested in models, languages, architectures, and implementation techniques for coordination.

• Theoretical models and foundations for coordination: component  composition, concurrency, mobility, dynamic aspects of coordination,  emergent behavior.
• Specification, refinement, and analysis of software architectures:  patterns and styles, verification of functional and non-functional  properties.
• Coordination, architectural, and interface definition languages:  implementation, interoperability, heterogeneity.
• Multiagent systems and coordination: models, languages, infrastructures.  
• Dynamic software architectures: mobile code and agents, configuration,  reconfiguration, self-organization.  
• Coordination and modern distributed computing: Web services,  peer-to-peer networks, grid computing, context-awareness, ubiquitous  computing.
• Programming languages, middleware, tools, and environments for the  development of coordinated applications
• Industrial relevance of coordination and software architectures:  programming in the large, domain-specific software architectures and  coordination models, case studies.
• Interdisciplinary aspects of coordination
