Triple Space Computing (TSC) has been proposed as communication and coordination paradigm based on the convergence of space-based computing and the Semantic Web. It acts as a global virtual shared space like middleware to enable communication and coordination of semantic data based on the principle of publish and read. This paper presents an overview of the work in progress under Austrian FIT-IT funded TSC project ( http://tsc.deri.at ). It presents the evolution of the TSC framework, overall architecture and its usage by Semantic Web Services.
Triple Space Computing (TSC) ist ein neuartiges Kommunikations- und Koordinationsparadigma, welches aus einer Kombination von "Tuple Spaces" und Semantic Web-Technologien entstanden ist. Der global zugängliche virtuelle Space stellt eine Middleware zur Verfügung, welche es ermöglicht, semantische Daten via Publizieren und Lesen auszutauschen. In diesem Artikel wird die Entstehung und Entwicklung vom FIT-IT-Projekt TSC ( http://tsc.deri.at ) vorgestellt: die Rahmenbedingungen und Datenmodelle, eine Architektur und Anwendungsbeispiele im Zusammenhang mit Semantic Web Services.
