Abstract

Since Linda, many differents coordination models using shared dataspaces have been developped. However, a few only have incorporated the notion of time. This paper builds upon previous work to study the expressive power of two families of timed coordination models based on shared dataspaces. The first one relies on Linda's communication primitives whereas the second relies on the more general notion of multi-set rewriting, incorporated, for instance, in Gamma. We analyse the expressiveness increase provided by the primitives in each of the two families and also compare the expressiveness power of the two families.
