Abstract
This paper focuses on coordination problems resolution. We state that contexts delimit environments where coordination problems are recurrent. Thus, identification of coordination contexts is necessary to propose solutions that solve coordination problems. We propose a pattern catalogue where each pattern describes how to apply a coordination form to manage a given coordination context. Contexts and problems are described using the terminology of the concerned area; patterns describe how to apply a solution to a specific problem.
