A special track on coordination models, languages and applications will be held at SAC 2001. The term coordination here is used in a rather broad sense covering traditional models and languages (e.g. ones based on the Shared Dataspace, CHAM and IWIM metaphors) but also other related formalisms and concepts such as configuration and architectural description frameworks, systems modeling abstractions and languages, programming skeletons, social aspects of multi-agent systems, etc.

This track on coordination is held for the fourth time as part of ACM SAC's events.

• Novel models, languages, programming and implementation techniques.
• Relationship with other computational models such as object oriented, declarative (functional, logic, constraint) programming or extensions of them with coordination capabilities.
• Applications (especially where the industry is involved).
• Theoretical aspects (semantics, reasoning, verification).
• Software architectures and software engineering techniques.
• Configuration and Architecture Description Languages
• Middleware platforms (e.g. CORBA).
• All aspects related to the modeling of Information Systems (groupware, Internet and the Web, workflow management, CSCW).
