   I have been working on a small Linda implementation written in C
   to run on a network of Sun Workstations.  It is a very interesting and
   useful distributed programming language.  I have read a great
   deal about Linda, but I am by no means an expert.  Talk to
   Nicholas Carriero and David Gelernter at Yale for expert advice.
   The following are just some of the good articles on Linda:

    The S/Net's Linda Kernel, ACM Transactions on Computer Systems,
    Vol. 4, No. 2, May 1986, Pages 110 - 129.
    N. Carriero and D. Gelernter

    Distributed Communication via global buffer, Proc. ACM Symp.
    Principles of Distributed Computing, (Aug. 1982):10-18 
    By Gelernter and A. Bernstein

    Generative Communication in Linda, ACM Trans. Prog. Lang. Sys.
    1(1985):80-112  by Gelernter.
   
    Application Experience with Linda, Proc. ACM/SIGPLAN Symp. on
    Parallel Programming, July 1988 by N. Carriero and D. Gelernter. 

    Dynamic Global Name spaces on Network Computers, Proc. Intl.
    Conf. Parallel Processing (Aug 1984).

    Implementation of Tuple Space Machines, Research Report YALEU/
    DCS/RR-567, December 1987 By Nicholas Carierro.

I have additional references if you would like them.  Take a look
at the articles, you'll be suprised what this language is capable of..
