18th IFIP International Conference on Coordination Models and Languages

Scope

COORDINATION 2016 is the premier forum for publishing research results and experience reports on software technologies for collaboration and coordination in concurrent, distributed, and complex systems. The key focus of the conference is the quest for high-level abstractions that can capture interaction patterns and mechanisms occurring at all levels of the software architecture, up to the end-user domain. COORDINATION 2016 seeks high-quality contributions on the usage, study, formal analysis, design, and implementation of languages, models, and techniques for coordination in distributed, concurrent, pervasive, and parallel software-intensive computing systems. COORDINATION 2016 seeks as well to adapt and integrate traditional COORDINATION techniques in the realm of multi-agent systems (MAS), which typically involve more coarse-grained (cognitive, intelligent, goal-oriented) components.

Main topics of interest encompass all areas of coordination, including (but not limited to) coordination related aspects of:

  • Models and paradigms
  • Programming abstractions and languages
  • Foundations, types and semantics
  • Specification and verification
  • Middlewares and architectures
  • Distributed, mobile and networked computing
  • Parallel and high-performance computing
  • Nature- and bio-inspired approaches
  • Self-adaptation, self-organisation and autonomic computing
  • Collective systems, ensembles, federations, and systems-of-systems
  • Teamwork, distributed problem solving and collective intelligence
  • Multi-agent systems, auction, negotiation, argumentation, and rational agents
  • Trust, policies, reputation and security
  • Applications and case studies
