Its distinctive<br>feature is the emphasis on high-level abstractions that capture<br>interaction patterns manifest at all levels of the software<br>architecture and extending into the realm of the end-user domain.<br>Social networking, Internet technologies, wireless communication, and<br>inexpensive multicore processors altered fundamentally the computing<br>milieu and the way one thinks about the development of modern software<br>systems. Coordination techniques seek to enhance our ability to<br>develop software that is responsive to emerging societal demands and<br>changing application needs and exploits effectively recent advances in<br>computing and communication technology.<br><br>Coordination 2011 seeks high-quality contributions on the usage,<br>study, design and implementation of languages, models and techniques<br>for coordination in distributed, concurrent, and multicore software<br>systems. The focus is on languages, formalisms, models, middleware,<br>patterns, and algorithms that conceptually separate behavior from<br>interaction. Research results should demonstrate an ability to<br>increase modularity, simplify reasoning, and ultimately enhance the<br>software development process. The conference is concerned with the<br>design and implementation of models that allow compositional<br>construction of large-scale concurrent and distributed systems. Both<br>practical and foundational perspectives are of interest. Given the<br>increasing importance of concurrency and distribution in almost every<br>domain of our existence, the organizers of Coordination 2011 are keen<br>to provide a forum for studies that address practical concerns and<br>industrial grade solutions, e.g., the introduction of concurrency and<br>distribution concepts to novel domains, comparative evaluations of<br>programming models on important problems, and the adoption of<br>domain-specific languages. Experience reports should describe lessons<br>learned from the application of proposed models and techniques to<br>problems in the real world.<br><br>Coordination 2011 also seeks proposals for discussion panels.<br>Proposed topics are expected to address new and exciting subjects that<br>challenge fundamental assumptions or open new directions for creative<br>and high-impact research.<br><br>--------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br>Topics of Interest<br><br>COORDINATION 2011 topics of interest include:<br><br>PROGRAMMING ABSTRACTIONS AND LANGUAGES: Design and implementation of<br>languages and middleware related to multicore programming, stream<br>programming, data parallel programming, event-driven programming, web<br>programming, reactive programming, ...<br><br>COORDINATION MODELS AND PARADIGMS: Service composition and<br>orchestration, tuple spaces, publish-subscribe systems, event<br>processing, workflow management, ...<br><br>SOFTWARE MANAGEMENT AND SOFTWARE ENGINEERING: Component and module<br>systems for distributed software, dynamic software evolution and<br>update technologies, configuration and deployment architectures,<br>multicore and distributed patterns, ...<br><br>SPECIFICATION AND VERIFICATION: Modeling and analysis of issues<br>related to security, dependability, resource-awareness, real time, ...<br><br>FOUNDATIONS AND TYPES: Calculi, process models, type systems for<br>concurrency and distribution, component conformance, contracts, ...<br><br>SOFTWARE FOR DECENTRALIZED TECHNOLOGIES: P2P frameworks, nomadic<br>networks, mobile ad-hoc networks, sensor networks, RFID-technology,<br>vehicle-area networks, body-area networks, Internet-of-Things, ...<br><br>EXPERIENCE REPORTS: Case studies and industrial experiences with<br>coordination in multicore and/or distributed development, business<br>process modeling, e-commerce, app-development, web applications, ...<br><br>COORDINATION FOR HUMANITY: Applications of coordination models to<br>people-centric sensing, ambient intelligence, context-aware systems,<br>Internet-of-Things for sustainability, ...<br><br>--------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br>PC-Chairs<br><br>Wolfgang De Meuter (Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium)<br>Gruia-Catalin Roman (Washington University in Saint Louis, USA)<br><br>Program committee:</div><div><br></div><div><div>Doug Lea</div><div>Susan Eisenbach</div><div>Patrick Eugster</div><div>Manuel Serano</div><div>John Field</div><div>Rocco De Nicola</div><div>Dave Clarke</div><div>Marjan Sirjani</div><div>Jean-Marie Jacquet</div><div>Caroly Talcott</div><div>Vasco Vasconcelos</div><div>Carlos Canal</div><div>Mark Miller</div><div>Jay A.
