By adopting a structured knowledge-level approach, coordination knowledge can be ascribed to groups (societies) of system components (agents) as a whole, rather than to individuals, in order to effectively rationalise complex patterns of interaction within intelligent (multi-agent) systems. Be it either explicitly represented at the symbol-level or hard-coded within specific coordination algorithms, coordination knowledge is instrumented by a wide and heterogeneous variety of coordination models, abstractions and technologies. Coordination knowledge engineering is then about eliciting, modelling and instrumenting coordination knowledge in a principled and effective manner.In this introductory article, we briefly review two well-known frameworks to conceptualise coordination, then we discuss different dimensions along which coordination models can be classified, and analyse their impact on the design of coordination mechanisms and their supporting coordination knowledge. Finally, we sketch our view on coordination knowledge engineering and introduce the different contributions to this special issue along this line.

This research aims to identify patterns of spatial interaction between district/cities in West Sumatra with Padang, where the interaction pattern is divided into two parts: the spatial patterns of interaction in the form of passenger movement and spatial patterns of interaction in the form of vehicles movement to and from Padang. By using LQ analysis tools, odds movement and accessibility index concluded that passenger movement from Padang to the district / city in West Sumatra  converge towards Agam, Pasaman, East Pasaman, Tanah Datar, Sijunjung and Painan, and movement of vehicles converging towards Sawahlunto , Pariaman, Agam, Pasaman and East Pasaman. While the movement of passengers to Padang centralized Bukittinggi, Payakumbuh, Solok, Sawahlunto and Pariaman and movement of vehicles to Padang centralized Bukittinggi, Payakumbuh, Solok, Tanah Datar, Sijunjung and Painan. The largest odds movement in the form of spatial interaction is passenger movement and so vehicles movement between Padang to Pariaman.  The highest accessibility index is between Padang with pariaman, meaning between the two regions have a high level of ease movement

The title of this paper suggests at least two possible points of departure. First, one can argue that spatial patterns are themselves an important feature in the study of social life which deserves our attention: that there is a significant geographical dimension to social interaction. Secondly, the title also implies that various social groups interact differentially with one another: that interaction is itself a proper focus for social investigation. Both points will be developed in the present paper with respect to ethnic minorities in Britain and the United States.

The multicellular incoherent feedforward loop (mIFFL) is an extension of the traditional intracellular IFFL gene motif where the interacting nodes no longer need to be genes inside the same cell but can be spatially distributed in different cells. We studied for the first time the spatial computing abilities of these mIFFL through in silico simulations done with individual-based models (run in Morpheus and GRO software). We observed that: 1) a genetic circuit working as a mIFFL can behaves as an edge detector of the border of an infection, and 2) a mIFFL can be the inner mechanism generating the complex 7 stripe pattern of eve in D. melanogaster embryogenesis. So, in this work, we show that multicellular IFFL architectures can produce spatial patterns and are a promising spatial computing motif that deserves to be incorporated into the toolbox of pattern generation and multicellular coordination mechanisms. This study opens several future lines of research: multi-agent IFFL applied in ecology as a tool to predict spatial position of interacting animals or in distributed robotics.

Abstract Linguistic interaction models suggest that interrelationships arise between structural language components and between structural and pragmatic components when language is used in social contexts. The linguist, David Crystal (1986, 1987), has proposed that these relationships are central, not peripheral, to achieving desired clinical outcomes. For individuals with severe communication challenges, erratic or unpredictable relationships between structural and pragmatic components can result in atypical patterns of interaction between them and members of their social communities, which may create a perception of disablement. This paper presents a case study of a woman with fluent, Wernicke's aphasia that illustrates how attention to patterns of linguistic interaction may enhance AAC intervention for adults with aphasia.
