Abstract

This paper proposes a blackboard architecture based on Tuple Spaces to support flexible integration of existing algorithms with modern learning environments and interfaces. The platform allows for extending existing single user systems to networked environments and for combining heterogeneous implementation languages. The specific implementation supports a generic inter-language communication by adding a Prolog interface to the Java based TSpaces platform. This approach is exemplified by a Java application for symbolic derivation coupled with an intelligent analyser written in Prolog, which uses deductive error recognition and classification to generate feedback to the user.

On the collective sort problem for distributed tuple spaces

In systems coordinated with a distributed set of tuple spaces, it is crucial to assist agents in retrieving the tuples they are interested in. This can be achieved by sorting techniques that group similar tuples together in the same tuple space, so that ...
On the introduction of density in tuple-space coordination languages

Coordination languages have been proved very suitable for modeling and programming service-oriented applications. In particular, those based on tuple spaces offer an elegant way of making different components of such applications interact smoothly ...
