Current methods of coordinating the effects of change as they propagate through these networks of connections are not likely to scale. What is needed is a new paradigm for how the Internet supports such coordination. Indeed, the Internet should and could provide fundamental coordination functions that are missing today. In this paper, we describe how such a \u201cCoordinated Internet\u201d would work (this paper is an expanded version of [1]). The key functionality of a Coordinated Internet would be that the Internet actively watches what people do (analogous to search completion on desktops today), correlates these activities, and actively notifies people when and how their current tasks affect and are affected by the activities of other people. This would be accomplished by standard coordination functions implemented as a common Internet layer that can be used as a utility by more specialized applications. Such a Coordinated Internet would revolutionize enterprise management, for all enterprises, large and small, corporate and personal. For example, static workflows would become obsolete for all but the the most routine processes. Some solutions provide existence proofs of such a coordination substrate, such as the Redux solution in concurrent engineering, which we describe herein. However, foundational research remains to be done in the new field of Coordination Engineering in order to reach the goal of a future Internet in which coordination functions are fundamental.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/fi3010049","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,2,17]],"date-time":"2011-02-17T06:08:01Z","timestamp":1297922881000},"page":"49-66","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Enterprise Coordination on the Internet"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"3","author":[{"given":"Charles","family":"Petrie","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Computer Science Department, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305, USA"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,2,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Petrie, C.
