Abstract

Coordination systems based on multiple tuple spaces, namely those inspired by and extending the Linda coordination language, targeted to design and implement open distributed systems are experiencing some popularity thanks to the flexibility and dinamicity of the Java language: examples are Sun’s JavaSpaces and IBM’s TSpaces.

By integrating coordination and mobility, a flexible technology supported by the “run-everywhere” feature of Java, we developed WebCluster. Web-Cluster is a meta-application development system: namely a Web-based system that enables the implementation of Web-accessible, agent oriented, distributed applications. The application target of WebCluster is the class of computationally intensive applications based on the master-worker architecture.
