Thanks to improvements in wireless communication technologies and increasing computing power in hand-held devices, mobile ad hoc networks are becoming an ever-more present reality. Coordination languages are expected to become important means in supporting this type of interaction. To this extent we argue the interest of the Bach coordination language as a middleware that can handle and react to context changes as well as cope with unpredictable physical interruptions that occur in opportunistic network connections. More concretely, our proposal is based on blackboard rules that model declaratively the actions to be taken once the blackboard content reaches a predefined state, but also that manage the engagement and disengagement of hosts and transient sharing of blackboards. The idea of reactiveness has already been introduced in previous work, but as will be appreciated by the reader, this article presents a new perspective, more focused on a declarative setting.

In this paper we investigate the effects of synchronous communication in the µLog coordination framework. We start by defining the concept of synchronous coordination and then introduce it into the µLog framework. We formally present the transition rules for the synchronous coordination, and discuss some of the consequences of the choices we have made. From the transition rules follows that synchronous tell and synchronous get are actually very similar and can be expressed in terms of two elementary primitives: put and wait. It turns out that these two primitives are powerful enough to also support the other µLog communication primitives.
