Reconfiguration of Hierarchical Tuple-Spaces: Experiments with Linda-Polylith

Abstract

A hierarchical tuple-space model is proposed for dealing with issues of complexity faced by programmers who build and manage programs in distributed networks. We present our research on a Linda-style approach to both configuration and reconfiguration. After presenting the model used in our work, we describe an experimental implementation of a programming system based upon the model. (Also cross-referenced as UMIACS-TR-93-100)
