Outline

• (PART I: WWW programming)
• PART II: Distributed (and agent) programming
  • Blackboards.
  • Modeling and accessing information servers (active modules).
  • A simple distributed LP/CLP language using ``worker teams''.
  • Implementing distributed variable-based communication using attributed variables.

• Different distributed execution scenarios:
  • Distributed networks of concurrent, communicating agents
  • Request/provide remote services in a distributed network
    (including database servers, WWW servers, etc.)
  • Coarse-grained Parallelism (granularity control required)
• Most functionality can be obtained using current LP/CLP systems!
• Again, concurrency in the underlying engine is very useful.
