Abstract

We introduce MicroSpaces, an Open Source project we develop and support for teaching net-centric computing in Java. A Linda system, MicroSpaces is virtually identical to JavaSpaces at the API level yet MicroSpaces is simpler to manage, more compact, and better suited to one-semester projects, study of network programming principles, and supervised research. We describe the MicroSpaces goals, architecture, and applications for teaching purposes.
