Optimization of distributed communication in multiprotocol Tuple Space

Tuple Space provides primitives convenient for description of data-sharing and interprocess communication, but its implementation on distributed systems is less efficient than that on shared memory machines. Multiprotocol Tuple Space improves the implementation on distributed systems. That provides three replication-consistency protocols that are weakened to different degrees. By selecting these protocols according to communication patterns, communication through Tuple Space can be optimized. >
