A Run-Time System for WCL
"... . WCL is an inter-agent co-ordination language designed for Internet and Web based agent systems. WCL is based on shared associative memories called tuple spaces, as introduced in Linda. In this paper we describe a novel run-time system for WCL. This distributed run-time system is radically diff ..."

has been used with considerable success since the mid eighties [1--3] for inter-process co-ordination in the field of parallel processing. The early implementations were all "closed" in the sense that all the processes wishing to communicate had to be known at compile time. In the last few
Participation, precedence and co-ordination in dialogue
, 2006
"... A key problem for models of dialogue is to explain how semantic co-ordination is achieved. The collaborative model highlights pair-specfic co-ordination processes. The interactive alignment model emphasises priming processes. We report a ‘Maze-task ’ experiment that in-vestigates the effects of: a) ..."

CO-ORDINATION IN ICT STANDARDS SETTING
"... Abstract: The complex web of standards setting bodies (SSBs) has triggered the need for co-operation and co-ordination in ICT standards setting at various levels. This paper looks at the co-ordination between SSBs, and proposes some improvements to the current situation. It also argues that SSBs nee ..."

DISTRIBUTED CO-ORDINATION OF STEEL-MAKING OPERATIONS FOR REDUCED PRODUCTION STOPPAGES
"... Abstract: This paper reports on the development of algorithms for factory decisionmaking and scheduling systems. The particular decision-making and schedule coordination problem studied relates to the synchronisation of a series of events in the context of a production changeover in electric arc ste ..."

A Deontic Formalism for Co-ordinating Software Development in Virtual Software Corporations
- in Virtual Software Corporation." Proceedings of WET ICE 98, IEEE
, 1998
"... The concept of the Virtual Software Corporation (VSC) has recently become a practical reality as a result of advances in communication and distributed technologies. However, there are significant difficulties with the management of the software development process within a VSC. The main problem is t ..."

of this paper is to present a solution approach which models the process based on deontic logic. The approach has been validated against a case study where it was used to model commitments and inter-human communications within the software development process of a VSC. The use of the formalism is exemplified
1 Background Paper on “Inter-Sectoral Co-ordination” Contribution to COST-Action E19
, 2002
"... Inter-sectoral co-ordination can be defined as a process or a status, i.e. the end-state of a process. Defining inter-sectoral co-ordination as a process implies the question “how is it done? “ Generally speaking, the process is about the organisation and reconciliation of different processes and ac ..."

Internal Marketing: A Strategic Tool to Achieve Inter-functional Co-ordination in the Context of a Manufacturer of Industrial Equipment
"... Abstract: The Internal Marketing concept came into existence nearly two decades ago in the academic arena. Since then different authors viewed IM from different perspective and proposed it as a comprehensive tool to achieve customer satisfaction. The basic idea was to formulate a marketing program i ..."

Using Asynchronous Tuple Space Access Primitives (Bonita primitives) for process co-ordination

, 1997
"... . In this paper an interactive talk program is used to demonstrate the difference between the Linda primitives and the recently proposed Bonita primitives. Both use the concept of shared tuple spaces for inter-agent communication, but the Bonita primitives provide asynchronous tuple space acces ..."

The network society is the social structure characteristic of the Information Age, as tentatively identi ed by empirical, cross-cultural investigation. It permeates most societies in the world, in v ..."
