Towards Scalable Information Spaces

Abstract. Recent work in the field of middleware technology proposes semantic spaces as a tool for coping with the scalability, heterogeneity and dynamism issues of large scale distributed IT environments. In this paper we discuss the impact that functional and non-functional requirements have on the scalability of a semantic space installation. Based on this analysis we elaborate on the application scenarios in which semantic information spaces are expected to be a feasible middleware solution for Web scale communication and coordination.1
