Abstract
Shared dataspaces, initiated by Linda since the beginning of the 80s, has been successfully adopted as a coordination model in a huge variety of systems and applications, going from parallel computing to web-based collaborative work. We point out several scalability problems which arise when trying to exploit the original Linda coordination model in peer-to-peer systems. The objective of this analysis is to produce some guidelines for the design of a data-driven coordination infrastructure suitable for the peer-to-peer scenario.
