Coordination and Adaptation are key issues when developing distributed systems. Coordination focuses on the interaction among computational entities, and adaptation on the problems raised when entities do not match properly.

This is the fourth edition of the WCAT workshop, initiated at Oslo jointly with ECOOP 2004. The topics of interest cover a broad number of fields where coordination and adaptation have an impact, including models, interface specification, automatic composition and adaptation of components or
services, run-time and middleware issues, case studies and experience reports.
To enable lively and productive discussions, attendance is limited to 20 participants, and submission of a short position paper is required. Submissions should describe work-in-progress, open issues and participants’ expectations on the workshop.

Participants will make a 5 minutes presentation of their positions, followed by a discussion which must serve to identify a list of open issues in the field. Then, participants will be divided into small groups (approx. 5 persons each), attending to their interests. The task of each group will be to discuss about a subset of the identified issues. Finally, a plenary session will be held, in which each group will present their conclusions to the rest of the participants.

DEADLINE EXTENDED UNTIL MAY 27

A special issue based on the papers presented in WCAT’07 will be published in JUCS. All the authors of accepted papers in WCAT’07 will be invited to submit extended technical versions of their works to be considered in the selection process
