Independent Study - A Java Tuple Space Server

My independent study is directed towards the design and implementation of a Linda Tuple Space Server for Java. The paper is available as either HTML or Postscript.

My Independent Study advisor Dr. Segall has made his dissertation, Tuple Space Operations: Multiple-Key Search, On-Line Matching and Wait-Free Synchronization available online. A related Independent study is Implementation of Multiple Key Search (for LINDA) in Java by Atul Deshmukh.

Pointers to Linda and Linda-like Systems, as well a other related links that turned up during the project.

The definitive source is the Yale Linda Group
There are a number of distributed Object systems in Java which implement Linda-like distributed shared memories, Such as Ice-T Infospheres from CalTech, IBM's T Spaces, and Sun's proposed JavaSpaces project.
Since I work with him, I have to include a pointer to Paul Stewart's group at JHCP, which is working on Java NOW.
Jada is a Java implementation of a subset of Linda.
A major source for all things involving parallel computing is the Internet Parallel Computing Archive.
Pointer to many Linda resources are in Robert Tolksdorf's Linda Bibliography.
ACLT is a Linda like coordination model which is available on several Unix platforms.
There are a few Web based Linda implementations, including WU-Linda and WWWinda
