In the context of open distributed systems, the ability to coordinate the agents coupled with the possibility to control the actions they perform is important. As open systems need to be scalable, capabilities may provide the best-fit solution to overcome the problems caused by the loosely controlled coordination of Linda -like systems. Acting as a ‘ticket', capabilities can be given to the chosen agents, granting them different privileges over different kinds of data—thus providing the system with a finer control on objects' visibility to agents. One drawback of capabilities is that they can only be applied to named objects—something that is not universally applicable in Linda since, in contrast to tuple-spaces, tuples are nameless. This paper demonstrates how the advantages of capabilities can be extended to tuples, with the introduction of multicapabilities, which generalise capabilities to collections of objects.
