Zusammenfassung

Coordination mechanics falls within the broad domain of systems theory, or cybernetics. It is a scientific approach to a certain aspect of organized human activity - namely the achievement of coordination between a multitude of Operations carried out by a multitude of persons, in no matter what field of activity. Coordination in this sense is always required if a multitude of operations is to compose a functionally meaningful whole. The achievement of coordination depends upon the existence of appropriate causal connections between operations, connections which, in their turn. depend upon the physical arrangements and the persons involved. Much interest in coordination mechanics relates to improving the understanding of how to employ computers and computer networks in the context of particular human enterprises. (For other, older forms of physical arrangement supporting organized activity, tradition and experience can often take the place of systematic knowledge.)
