Abstract

WCL is an inter-agent co-ordination language designed for Internet and Web based agent systems. WCL is based on shared associative memories called tuple spaces, as introduced in Linda. In this paper we describe a novel run-time system for WCL. This distributed run-time system is radically different from traditional run-time systems supporting tuple spaces because it performs on-the-fly analysis of the usage of tuple spaces and moves tuple-space data between machines dynamically. Experimental results show that this approach provides significant speed improvements.
