It is an evolution of earlier middlewares (the Coordination Language Facility (CLF) and Stitch). The aim is to provide a more flexible and expressive language correcting several of their limitations and an improved run-time environment. LINC provides a compact yet powerful coordination language and an optimised run-time which executes rules. This paper describes the intrinsic properties brought by the LINC environment and how it helps the coordination aspects in a distributed system. This paper also emphasises on the reflexivity of LINC and its usage at system level. Finally, it illustrates through several case studies, how LINC can manage a wide range of application domains. %G English %2 https://hal.science/hal-01274824/document %2 https://hal.science/hal-01274824/file/coordination_2014_language.pdf %L hal-01274824 %U https://hal.science/hal-01274824 %~ CEA %~ IFIP-LNCS %~ IFIP %~ DRT %~ IFIP-TC %~ IFIP-WG %~ IFIP-TC6 %~ IFIP-WG6-1 %~ IFIP-LNCS-8459 %~ LETI %~ CEA-GRE
