Hello everybody,


	Could anybody tell me something about the Linda Model?

	Currently, I was studying the mechanism of how Linda works
	using the public domain software, POSYBL. I wonder how
	the daemons cooperate to maintain the tuple space.

	1)	If a process wants to remove or read a tuple using a 
		given template, in what way would it search? Is it by 
		boardcast or daemon-by-daemon search?

	2)	How are the inserted tuples stored/managed by the
		daemons? Would the daemons acknowledge other daemons
		what tuples they've got?

	3)	If a process wants to remove a tuple not inserted by
		him, would that initiates any integity problems?
		Who gave him (the process) the right for that removal?


	Would anybody tell me how could I find the developer of the
	POSYBL, Mr. G. Schoinas (last known email addr of
	sxoinas@csd.uch.gr)?
