In this chapter we have analyzed the key concepts of field-based coordination, and have discussed how it exhibits those key characteristics that are necessary for supporting adaptive self-organization in modern distributed computing scenarios. This suitability is somewhat confirmed by the fact that, on the one hand, a variety of recent proposals successfully adopt solutions that conform to field-based ones, and on the other hand, several swarm intelligence behaviors can be easily modeled in terms of field-based coordination.
The question of whether it is possible to generalize from the variety of examples reported in this chapter and identify a single unifying model for fieldbased coordination, integrating the necessary characteristics for supporting the design and development of field-based coordinated applications in a variety of scenarios, and suitable to model a variety of coordination patterns, is still open.
The Co-Fields model, discussed in the next chapter, may represent a preliminary answer to this question.
