Description: Creating applications that run across a network of machines is notoriously difficult, even with Java, because creating distributed applications potentially entails coordinating the actions of many active processes. JavaSpaces, an exciting new coordination technology from the Java Software Division, promises to remedy this situation by providing a powerful, practical, high-level method of building a variety of distributed applications. With the JavaSpaces model, programmers build distributed applications by gluing Java processes together into ensembles that work together to accomplish a common goal. The model is simple yet powerful enough to implement the most advanced distributed applications and is ideal for building commercial-quality distributed systems.
