The following non-exclusive topics are covered by this SI:
- Theoretical coordination models and foundations for pervasive systems
- Coordination middleware (such as space- or event-based approaches)
- Coordination mechanisms in service-oriented architectures
- Distributed and P2P-based coordination
- Coordination issues in sensor networks
- Coordination dependent on context
- Distributed constraint satisfaction
- Location-based coordination models
- Coordination in multi-agent systems
- Case studies, evaluations and assessments about the benefits of coordination
Coordination and contained topics are multidisciplinary and, hence, can be viewed as orthogonal to a multitude of pervasive application areas which can be explored in this SI. Examples include but are not limited to:
- Coordinative aspects in collaborative applications like CSCW, groupware, or games
- Emergency management systems
- Health care systems
- Decision-support systems
- Geo-Collaboration
- Complexity-, constraint-, conflict-, and workflow management |
