Abstract
Cooperative Object Information Systems are systems build from objects that work together as a single system. Objects that cooperate in the realization of common tasks. Cooperative Object Information Systems are systems constrained to continuously adapt to new requirements: new objects are introduced into the systems, cooperation protocols change, etc. Building Cooperative Object Information Systems is difficult because most of the concurrent and distributed object oriented programming languages and frameworks used to build them, provide only limited support for their specification and abstraction, making them difficult to understand, modify and customize. We show in this paper how combining distributed active objects, and object oriented coordination models and languages, particularly the CoLaSD coordination model and language, we can simplify the development of Cooperative Object Information Systems, and facilitate at the same time the evolution of their requirements.
