     Workshop proceedings to be published by IEEE Computer Society Press


THEME

According to Thomas Malone and Kevin Crowston, coordination is the act of
managing interdependencies between activities. Some of the issues to be
explored in this area are developing approaches to analyse coordination in
different kinds of systems, designing coordination tools and languages, and
applying the notion of coordination to distributed and parallel processing
systems.

The purpose of this workshop is to bring together researchers and
practitioners who are using in one way or another the notion of coordination
in the development of information systems. Of particular interest are papers
highighting the interdisciplinary nature of coordination and those
describing "coordination-in-the-large" activities.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

   * Programming languages, tools and systems
   * Software architectures
   * Groupware
   * CSCW
   * Design patterns for coordination (coordination patterns)
   * Workflow management
   * Collaboration and cooperation environments
   * Agent communication and coordination
   * Mobile computing
   * Internet and intranet technology
   * Industrial applications and case studies (eg. the potential of
     coordination in the development of the Information Society, Electronic
     Commerce, etc.).

The papers must clearly show how the concept of coordination was used, what
were the benefits gained but also the problems encountered, if any.
