چکیده

LIME (Linda in a Mobile Environment) is a middleware supporting the development of applications that exhibit physical mobility of hosts, logical mobility of agents, or both. LIME adopts a coordination perspective inspired by work on the Linda model. The context for computation, represented in Linda by a globally accessible, persistent tuple space, is refined in LIME to transient sharing of identically-named tuple spaces carried by individual mobile units. Tuple spaces are also extended with a notion of location and programs are given the ability to react to specified states. The resulting model provides a minimalist set of abstractions that promise to facilitate rapid and dependable development of mobile applications. In this paper, we illustrate the model underlying LIME, provide a formal semantic characterization for the operations it makes available to the application developer, present its current design and implementation, and discuss lessons learned in developing applications that involve physical mobility.

CoreLime: A Coordination Model for Mobile Agents

Lime is a middleware communication infrastructure for mobile computation that addresses both physical mobility of devices as well as logical mobility of software components by providing a rich set of primitives for local and remote operations. The original Lime specification is surprisingly complex and tricky to implement. In this paper, we start by deconstructing the Lime model to identify its...

Secure Sharing of Tuple Spaces in Ad Hoc Settings**Please see WUCSE-03-26**

Security is emerging as a growing concern throughout the distributed computing community. Typical solutions entail specialized infrastructure support for authentication, encryption and access control. Mobile applications executing over ad hoc wireless networks present designers with a rather distinct set of security requirements. A totally open setting and limited resources call for lightweight...
