Tagged Sets: A Secure and Transparent Coordination Medium

Abstract. A simple and effective way of coordinating distributed, mobile, and parallel applications is to use a virtual shared memory (VSM), such as a Linda tuple-space. In this paper, we propose a new kind of VSM, called a tagged set. Each element in the VSM is a value with an associated tag, and values are read or removed from the VSM by matching the tag. Tagged sets exhibit three properties useful for VSMs:
