Includes bibliographical references and index.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Coordination Models and Languages, COORDINATION 2002, held in York, UK, in April 2002. The 18 revised full papers and 14 short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 55 submissions. Among the topics addressed are network-centric systems design, concurrent semantics, mobile object systems, mobile agent systems, software components, distributed processes, coordination frameworks, reflective architectures, multi-agent systems engineering, communication protocols, formal specification, and cooperative virtual teams.
