title = "Algebraic semantics of coordination or what is in a signature",
abstract = "We propose an algebraic characterisation of the notion of coordination in the sense of recently proposed languages and computational models that provide a clear separation between the modelling of individual software components and their interaction in the overall software organisation. We show how this separation can be captured in Goguen{\textquoteright}s categorical approach to General Systems Theory and borrow examples from specification logics, program design languages, mathematical models of behaviour, and coordination languages to illustrate the applicability of our algebraic characterisation.",
