While future software is becoming decomposed in more and more finegrained entities, issues on interactions amongst those entities grows in importance. While methodologies for building such components are well established, the design and support of their interplay can not build on commonly understood and well defined models. In this paper, we review several coordination models from various disciplines, and describe how a coordination reference model could look like. We use a set of characteristics of coordination models to compare the reviewed ones.
