ABSTRACT
We review several coordination models from various disciplines. We use a set of characteristics of coordination models to compare the reviewed ones. As an example of technology for Web-based systems that is based on one of these models, we describe an extension to the Linda model of coordination. It allows XML documents to be stored in a coordination space from where they can be retrieved based on multiple matching relations amongst XML documents, including those given by XML query-languages. This paper is based on the material presented in [TG01a] and [To100b].
