This paper discusses the role metaphor to coordination. Roles are used in sociology as a way for structuring organizations and for coordinating their behavior. In this model, the distinguishing features of roles are their dependence on an institution, and the powers they assign to the players of roles. The institution represents an environment where the different components interact with each other by using the powers attributed to them by the roles they play, even when they do not know each other.
