Using XML-RPC to Create a Linda-like Distributed Tuple Space Capability for Distributed Applications Development.

The Linda approach to distributed computing developed by David Gelerntner at Yale University is to provide a general purpose distributed tuple space. All synchronization semantics are implemented in terms of taking tuples out of the tuple space. The approach has been widely used to implement distributed systems. The distributed tuple-space manage has traditionally been implemented using proprietary code. With the advent of XML-RPC there is now a way to implement a language neutral implementation of a tuple space manager.
