Abstract

The World Wide Web is a very successful phenomenon, and is increasingly being used as a medium for electronic commerce rather than simple information exchange. In this paper it is argued that the low-level infrastructure of the Web is badly suited for these new applications, as well as being somewhat inefficient in its original applications; an alternative infrastructure offering better functionality and flexibility is proposed. The new infrastructure is based on the Linda coordination model, and adds a layer of abstraction over the absolute location of resources. Both theoretical and real-world issues are covered, including the problem of integrating this new system with the existing infrastructure of the Web.
