This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Coordination Models and Languages, COORDINATION 2006, held in Bologna, Italy, June 2006. The 17 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 50 submissions. Among the topics addressed are component connectors, negotiation in service-oriented computing, process algebraic specification, workflow patterns, reactive XML, ubiquitous coordination, type systems, ad-hoc network coordination, choreography, communication coordination, and distributed embedded systems.
