Abstract

Modern distributed systems tend to be conglomerates of heterogeneous subsystems, which have been designed separately, by different people, with little, if any, knowledge of each other. A single agent operating within a hybrid system of this kind may have to coordinate its activities with members of several such subsystems, under different coordination policies. To support coordination in such hybrid systems, we introduce in this paper a new concept of regulated coordination that allows a single agent to engage in several different.activities, subject to disparate policies. Coordination policies are enforced to ensure compliance with them by all participants. We introduce a toolkit called Moses that can support a wide range of useful coordination policies of this kind, in an efficient and unified manner.
