Abstract
The coordination model developed in PRODNET II for the virtual enterprise infrastructure is presented. The key issues in coordination are discussed, such as, flexibility and configurability, hierarchical models, events, synchronization, loops and cycles, and so on. The software modules involved in the coordination are described: the Local Configuration Module and the Local Coordination Module. Related works are discussed and some directions for further research are also given.
