Challenges for M4SC

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Social Coordination Frameworks for Social Technical Systems

Part of the book series: Law, Governance and Technology Series ((LGTS,volume 30))

  • 327 Accesses

Abstract

The preceding chapters have addressed the motivation for the use of models of social coordination (M4SC), described a range of models for the specification of M4SC, an initial version of a unifying meta-model and an overview of application domains. In doing so we have put forward arguments for the benefits arising from the use of M4SC and identified essential characteristics of M4SC application domains. In this final chapter we consider some of the challenges and open issues that lie ahead for M4SC research.
