“…It is the agents, workers and equipment that are scheduled to carry out the tasks of the plan. Bendeck et al (1998) consider the coordination of project planning and scheduling, and monitoring during execution. A system has been developed to address the issues of coordination and noti®cation in the context of a distributed software development design process.…”

Abstract. This is the second of two papers surveying research in coordination approaches and systems. This paper is concerned with operational coordination, which is aimed at coordinating activities such that the design process can be performed in a near optimal manner with respect to time, and the allocation and utilisation of resources. Aspects of coordination categorised as operational include resource management, scheduling and planning. The ®rst of these two papers presents a review of coordination from a strategic perspective, which is concerned with the decision management aspects of coordination. Greater emphasis is now being placed on the signi®cance of organising the design process as this affects time to market, product quality, cost, and consequently product success. The aim of this paper is to present a fundamental review of operational coordination approaches and systems. The 1990s has seen much progress being made towards a greater understanding and appreciation of coordination in various disciplines through the development of a wide range of approaches and systems. However, there remains a requirement to formally identify the key issues involved in coordination such that a widely accepted representation can be agreed upon. Consequently, research should continue to be supported in the exploration for a uni®ed approach to coordination which will permit a broader and greater understanding of those aspects involved.

“…The importance of ef®ciently scheduling distributed parallel applications in heterogeneous networks has been recognised (Berman et al 1996). It is noted that since distributed resources can rarely be controlled by a single global scheduler, an application needs to be scheduled by the user.…”

“…1 We use an OODBMS to handle conflicts resulting from concurrent access to the data. 2 We focus here on the replication of the workflow engine because it is the central component for process support. Clearly, to replicate the WFE, we also have to replicate its underlying data structures (project plan and process model).…”
