Abstract

This paper presents Xspace, a programmable coordination paradigm for Internet applications based on mobile agents. The Xspace system fully exploits the advantages of the XML language and Linda-like coordination. It supports XML documents as tuple fields and multiple matching routines implementing different relations among XML documents, including those given by XML query languages. The Xspace uses Java as the implementation language; it is based on object-oriented XMLized tuple spaces to implement a portable and programmable coordination paradigm for mobile agents. The design and implementation procedures of Xspace are described in this paper. Experiment and performance evaluation are also made. Finally, some conclusions and remarks are given.
