Abstract

Current coordination models offer limited support for applications in which mobile hosts not only must coordinate their actions, but must also coordinate when those actions will be taken. This paper describes the design of TNM, a new coordination model based on timed futures - a novel extension to current coordination models through which mobile hosts can propose and negotiate which actions they will take and when. We discuss the use and advantages of this new coordination model in the context of the automatic motorway application challenge problem posed for the 2005 Monterey Workshop.
