Abstract

A rather recent approach in programming parallel and distributed systems is that of coordination models and languages. Coordination programming enjoys a number of advantages such as the ability to express different software architectures and abstract interaction protocols, supporting multilinguality, reusability and programming-in-the-large, etc. In this paper we show the potential of control- or event-driven coordination languages to be used as languages for expressing dynamically reconfigurable software architectures. We argue that control-driven coordination has similar goals and aims with reconfigurable environments and we illustrate how the former can achieve the functionality required by the latter.
