In the early 1980's, Linda emerged as a shared memory model for parallel
programming, providing process interaction via a tuple space. In the late
'90's, motivated by the need for loose coordination among distributed
computing components, Linda reemerged as middleware for components in the
fixed network. Such loose coordination is also meaningful in the mobile ad
hoc networks, MANET, and wireless sensor networks, WSN, two challenging
environments with components that are both distributed and dynamic. In this
talk, we briefly introduce Linda then discuss three variations of Linda: Lime,
Linda in a mobile environment; TinyLime, Lime for wireless sensor networks
with base stations; and TeenyLime, Lime for wireless sensor/actuator networks.
