CFP COORDINATION'97

                              Call for Papers

                              COORDINATION'97

    Second International Conference on Coordination Models and Languages
                              Berlin, Germany

                            September 1-3, 1997.

The last decade has seen the emergence of a class of languages and
models variously termed ``coordination languages'', ``configuration
languages'', and ``architectural description languages''. These
formalisms provide a clean separation between individual software
components and their interaction in the overall software
organisation. This separation makes large applications more tractable,
supports global analysis, and enhances reuse of software. Building on
the success of COORDINATION'96, COORDINATION'97 will provide a forum
for this rapidly growing community working in areas ranging from
theoretical models and foundations, to languages and implementation
techniques. The proceedings of COORDINATION'96 were published as
Springer Verlag LNCS 1061. 

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

   * Theoretical models and foundations for coordination: component
     composition; concurrency; dynamic aspects of coordination.
   * Specification, refinement and analysis of software architectures;
     verification of functional and non-functional properties.
   * Coordination, software architecture, and interface definition
     languages; implementation issues; interoperability and heterogeneity.
   * Tools and environments for the development of coordinated applications;
     integration within the development process; maintenance, evolution and
     reuse of software architectures; patterns and architecture styles;
     knowledge-based techniques for software architectures; integration
     tests.
   * Industrial relevance of coordination and software architectures;
     programming in the large; domain-specific software architectures and
     coordination models; case studies.

Submissions: 

Authors are invited to send 6 copies of a full paper (in english, up to 
6 000 words, preferably double-sided) at the postal address mentioned below. 
Full papers must be received by the program co-chair no later than January 24. 
Electronic submissions will not be considered.  Simultaneous submission to 
other conferences or journals is not allowed.  Each submission should be 
preceded by an abstract of no more than 250 words, sent by email (in ascii 
format) to coo97@irisa.fr. The abstract must be received by the co-chair by
January 17.

The proceedings will be published by Springer Verlag in the LNCS series.

Selection: 

Submissions should explicitly state their contribution and their relevance 
to coordination or software architecture. Other criteria for selection will 
be originality, significance, correctness and clarity.

Case study workshop: 

A co-located workshop will be organised to present and compare approaches 
to coordination and software architecture through an industrial case study. 
Authors are invited to participate in the workshop by submitting either a 
position paper or a full paper presenting a solution to the case study. 
For additional details on the workshop, see
            http://www.wins.uva.nl/research/coordination/
or contact the workshop chair at the address below.

Conference format and location: 

Coordination'97 will be hosted by the Technical University Berlin. 
Berlin is the 3.5 million residents capital of Germany and reflects the 
history in a unique way with many touristic attractions. It is one of 
Europe's leading cultural centers and offers a rich variety of opera, 
theatres and a colorful nightlife for all interests.  The three airports 
in Berlin are about 30 to 40 minutes from the western center where the 
conference site and hotels for participants are located.
