Coordinating Web-Based Systems with Documents in XMLSpaces

We describe an extension to the Linda model of coordination for Web-based applications. It allows XML documents to be stored in a coordination space from where they can be retrieved based on multiple matching relations amongst XML documents, including those given by XML query-languages. XMLSpaces is distributed and supports several distribution policies in an extensible manner. We describe the partial replication schema implemented in detail.
