Abstract of Paradigm as Organization-Oriented Coordination Language 
L.P.J. Groenewegen, A.W. Stam, P.J. Toussaint and E.P. de Vink

Global component behaviours as distinguished in Paradigm, offer the
ingredients for specifying inter-component coordination in separation from and
consistent with detailed component behaviour.  The paper discusses how global
behaviours provide great flexibility in arranging computation as well as
coordination. In the context of a mediating example we plea for taking such
flexibility as an organizational, organic, human-like characteristic; good to
have, but usually absent in system specification. In addition, we point out
how Paradigm's flexibility fits well in the historical perspective of discrete
event simulation, modeling, object-orientation and patterns.
