New models, architectures, languages, verification techniques are necessary to cope with the complexity induced by the demands of today's software development. Coordination languages have emerged as a successful approach, in that they provide abstractions that cleanly separate behavior from communication, therefore increasing modularity, simplifying reasoning, and ultimately enhancing software development. Building on the success of the previous editions, this conference provides a well-established forum for the growing community of researchers interested in models, languages, architectures, and implementation techniques for coordination. PREVIOUS EDITIONS The previous editions of COORDINATION took place in Cesena (Italy), Berlin (Germany), Amsterdam (Netherlands), Limassol (Cyprus), York (UK), Pisa (Italy) and Namur (Belgium). More details are available at http://www.coordination2005.org. TOPICS OF INTEREST They include but are not limited to: * Theoretical models and foundations for coordination: component composition, concurrency, mobility, dynamic aspects of coordination, emergent behavior. * Specification, refinement, and analysis of software architectures: patterns and styles, verification of functional and non-functional properties. * Coordination, architectural, and interface definition languages: implementation, interoperability, heterogeneity. * Multiagent systems and coordination: models, languages, infrastructures. * Dynamic software architectures: mobile code and agents, configuration, reconfiguration, self-organization. * Coordination and modern distributed computing: Web services, peer-to-peer networks, grid computing, context-awareness, ubiquitous computing. * Programming languages, middleware, tools, and environments for the development of coordinated applications * Industrial relevance of coordination and software architectures: programming in the large, domain-specific software architectures and coordination models, case studies. * Interdisciplinary aspects of coordination PROCEEDINGS The conference proceedings will be published by Springer, in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. Proceedings of previous editions of this conference are also available in the LNCS series as volumes 1061, 1282, 1594, 1906, 2315, 2949 and 3454. SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Authors are invited to submit full papers electronically no later than 22 January 2006 through the online submission procedure available at at http://conferences.cs.unibo.it/Coordination06. Submissions must be formatted according to the LNCS guidelines (see http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html) and must not exceed 15 pages in length. Papers that are not in the requested format or significantly exceed the mandated length may be rejected without going through the review phase. Submissions should explicitly state their contribution and their relevance to the theme of the conference. Other criteria for selection will be originality, significance, correctness, and clarity. Simultaneous or similar submissions to other conferences or journals are not allowed. CONFERENCE LOCATION The conference will be hosted by the Department of Computer Science of the University of Bologna.
