Tuple-Space Based Middleware for Distributed Computing

Abstract

Tuple-spaces provide a powerful model for managing a distributed object system. We investigate algorithmic and implementation issues for combining independent spaces into a SuperSpace that could scale and perform sufficiently well to be a basis for a global grid middleware. We have used the JavaSpaces implementation and discuss transactional integrity issues and our approach to implementing bridging modules to connect local area spaces.

Keywords: tuple-space; JavaSpace; middleware; transactions.
