Abstract

Three models of coordination–Reo, Actors-Roles-Coordinators (ARC), and Policy-based Russian Dolls (PBRD)–are compared and contrasted according to a set of coordination features. Mappings between their semantic models are defined. Use of the models is illustrated by a small case study.

Keywords: Coordination languages, Actor languages, Reo, Policy Based Russian Dolls (PBRD), Actor Role Coordinator (ARC), Constraint automata
