Sorting Algorithms Implemented Using JavaSpaces

Abstract

Java Spaces technology is a Java implementation of a tuple-based system providing a programming model that views an application as a collection of processes cooperating via the flow of objects into and out of one or more spaces. A space is a shared, network-accessible repository for objects together with their behavior. Processes perform simple operations to write objects into a space, take or read objects from a space that are of interest to them. This technology is suited for parallel computation applications and provides tremendous benefits in terms of scalability and fault-tolerance. I have described how three sorting algorithms can be implemented using Java Spaces technology.
