Scope:

COORDINATION 2014 is the premier forum for publishing research results and experience reports on software technologies for collaboration and coordination in concurrent, distributed, and complex systems. Its distinctive feature is its emphasis on high-level abstractions that capture interaction patterns manifest at all levels of the software architecture and extending into the realm of the end-user domain. COORDINATION 2014 seeks high-quality contributions on the usage, study, design, and implementation of languages, models, and techniques for coordination in distributed, concurrent, pervasive, and multicore software systems.


Main topics of interest:

* Programming abstractions and languages
* Coordination models and paradigms
* Applied software engineering principles
* Specification and verification
* Foundations and types
* Distributed middleware architectures
* Multicore programming
* Collaborative adaptive systems
* Coordination related use cases


Submission and publication:

Contributions must be written in English and report on original, unpublished work not submitted for publication elsewhere (cf. IFIP's codes of conduct). The submissions must not exceed 16 pages in length, including figures and references, prepared using Springer's LNCS style. Submissions not adhering to the above specified constraints may be rejected without review.
Papers should be submitted as PDF or PS via EasyChair:
