Today's emerging trends like factory of the future, big data, Internet-of-things, intelligent traffic solutions, cyber-physical systems, wireless sensor networks, smart home, smart city and smart grid raise new challenges on software development. They are characterized by high concurrency, distribution and dynamics as well as huge numbers of heterogeneous devices, resources and users that must collaborate in a reliable way. The management of the interactions and dependencies between the participants is a complex task posing massive coordination problems. The here proposed approach is twofold: (i) to analyze similarities in the communication and synchronization behavior of such applications and to identify coordination patterns; and (ii) to give a precise specification of them by means of a suitable coordination model which enables the development of coordination pattern-based software components as solutions. The vision is to compose advanced cooperative information systems from proven, configurable, reusable, generic components that run on a suitable target platform, in order to reduce software development time, risks and costs. In this paper we delimit the idea of "coordination patterns" from other related pattern approaches and motivate the need for a well-defined model to specify them. Several coordination models to achieve this goal are discussed, and the advantages of a new coordination model termed the "Peer Model" are pointed out. The feasibility of the approach to identify coordination patterns, to model them and to provide generic components that can be reused in different scenarios through configuration and composition is evaluated by means of a coordination pattern found in several industrial use cases.

“…Several approaches have been reported for integrating technical and semantic aspects of SE environments. Mordinyi et al propose a model-driven system configuration approach for integrating systems in the safety-critical Air Traffic Management domain [5]. This approach explicitly models the components of the heterogeneous network infrastructures to produce and deploy a technical solution model using an integration platform.…”

“…The overall process for systems integration consists of three phases (see [19]): 1. the elicitation and validation of systems integration requirements (problem space knowledge); 2. the description of the architecture and the modeling of the capabilities of technical solution candidates (solution space knowledge) [17]; and 3. the bridging of the knowledge models of problem and solution space to identify the most suitable solution candidates [20].…”

Abstract. The capability to provide a platform for flexible business services in the Air Traffic Management (ATM) domain is both a major success factor for the ATM industry and a challenge to integrate a large number of complex and heterogeneous information systems. Most of the system knowledge needed for integration is not available explicitly in machine-understandable form, resulting in timeconsuming and error-prone human integration tasks. In this chapter we introduce and evaluate a knowledge-based approach, "Semantically-Enabled Externalization of Knowledge" for the ATM domain (SEEK-ATM), which explicitly models a) expert knowledge on specific heterogeneous systems and integration requirements; and b) allows mapping of the specific knowledge to the general ATM problem domain knowledge for semantic integration. The domain-specific modeling enables a) to verify the integration knowledge base as requirements specification for later design of technical systems integration and b) to provide an application program interface (API) to the problem space knowledge to facilitate tool support for efficient and effective systems integration. Based on an industry case study, we evaluate effects of the proposed SEEK-ATM approach in comparison to traditional system integration approaches in the ATM domain. Major advantages of the novel approach are the efficient derivation of technical configurations and automated quality assurance of the expert knowledge models.
