RDBSpace

My child, never forget the things I have taught you. Store my commands in your heart,... Proverbs 3:1 (NLT)

We judge that the combination of the Jini network technology and the JavaSpaces object repository provides an exceptional environment for the design and implementation of loosely coupled distributed systems. In this research, we are exploring the strengths and weaknesses of the most popular implementation of a persistent JavaSpace. Previously, we have reported on the design, implementation, and analysis of RDBSpace, a JavaSpace that is supported by a relational database. Our experimental results indicate that it is possible to build an efficient and scalable JavaSpace that relies on a relational database back-end. Currently, we are improving the implementation of RDBSpace and conducting a detailed empirical analysis. Part of our implementation effort involves the integration of transactional functionality into RDBSpace.
