Abstract

We discuss three software architectures for coordination. All architectures are based on agents. Each agent has a local dataspace that contains shared distributed replicated data. The three architectures differ in the way agents communicate: either through an unordered broadcast, through an atomic broadcast, or through a synchronization among all agents. We first show how to represent both data-driven and control-oriented coordination languages in our model. Then we compare the behavior of the three architectures, under the assumption that the local dataspaces are either sets or multisets.
