Complexity of intra- and inter-systems interactions is steadily increasing in modern application scenarios such as the Internet of Things, therefore coordination technologies are required to take a crucial step forward towards full maturity. In this paper we look back at the history of the COORDINATION conference series with the goal of shedding light on the current status of the coordination technologies there proposed throughout the years, also in comparison with other venues and industrial proposals, in an attempt to emphasise success stories as well as limitations, and possibly reveal a gap between actual technologies, theoretical models, and novel application needs.

在诸如物联网之类的现代应用场景中，系统内和系统间交互的复杂性正在稳步提高，因此需要协调技术才能朝着完全成熟迈出关键的一步。在本文中，我们回顾了COORDINATION会议系列的历史，目的是阐明多年来提出的协调技术的现状，并与其他场所和行业建议进行比较，以强调成功。故事和局限性，并可能揭示实际技术，理论模型和新颖的应用程序需求之间的差距。
