Triple Space Computing

Research funding project
The aim of the TSC project is to develop Triple Space Computing as communication and coordination framework for Semantic Web and Semantic Web Services. Modern IT-systems are mostly designed as modular, component-based architectures wherein the distinct components communicate for achieving the overall system functionality, i.e. they exchange data as well as control information. At this point in time, mostly message-based communication technologies are applied software component communication. Although existing messaging technologies are quite well elaborated, they impose severe restrictions in terms reliable messaging, security, scalability, fault tolerance and recovery which are handled on top of the message layer; moreover, the massage-based for communication is not compatible with publication-based design principles of the Web. A different paradigm is Tuple Space Computing, where component communication is realized by reading and writing the information to be exchanged in a shared space. The TSC project aims at extending the paradigm of Tuple Space Computing into a semantics-enhanced, scalable communication middleware with special emphasis on the support of Semantic Web Services.
