Abstract :
Coordination is essential for five reasons: preventing anarchy or chaos; efficiency; meeting global constraints; distributed information, expertise or resources; and dependencies between the agents´ actions. Coordination is also an important method for cooperation. Due to this significance, coordination have been paid great attention in recent years, from coordination models, mechanisms, methods, etc. to resource management. In this paper, we survey these advances and give our view of future research direction
