From a Computation Machine to a Coordination Machine

by In my opinion, what we are facing today is a revolution that is not only a matter of technologies, it is something so profound that it can alter the way we conceive software and software infrastructures.

Computation machines were theoretically modeled by Alan Turing using his Turing machine and their basic architecture was proposed by Von Neumann.

The only new thing we are facing today is that the communication machine is becoming a ubiquitous mass available machine for everybody, instead of a special tool used in a research laboratory.

If we accept the idea that we are facing a revolution at the roots of computation, we can start to change the way we are approaching the new communication machine and its related technologies.
