Abstract On many occasions, Rocco De Nicola has shown an amazing ability to combine
different research topics to offer original results to seemingly different research problems …

Web Services standards and protocols (WSDL, UDDI, SOAP, etc.) are the basis of a novel
technology supporting Web based applications. Web Services are components offering …

In this paper we investigate security problems which occur when exploiting a Linda-like data
driven coordination model in an open environment. In this scenario, there is no guarantee …

Shared data-space coordination languages, which provide a means to program interactions
between decoupled entities abstracting away from their internal behavior, represent a …

This paper focuses on the protection of the confidentiality of the data space content when
Shared Data Spaces are deployed in open, possibly hostile, environments. In previous …

Enforcing security policies to distributed systems is difficult, in particular, to a system
containing untrusted components. We designed AspectKE*, an aspect-oriented …

The tuple-space based model, also known as Linda, offers an alternative to the conventional

Internet has succeeded as a global information system mainly because of its availability and
openness, and the simplicity of its standards and protocols. However, the current use of …

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 …
