In this talk, the speaker will recapitulate the classical lines of the literature on coordination models, and discuss the new lines of research that aim at addressing the coordination of complex systems. In particular, the talk will focus on mechanisms and patterns of coordination for self-organising systems, and on the role of semantics in information-driven coordination models. In the end, a scenario for SOSC (self-organising semantic coordination) will be discussed, along with some insights over available technologies and possible applications for SOSC.
