USENIX Technical Program - Abstract - 7th Tcl/Tk Conference - February 2000 ## AGNI: A Multi-threaded Middleware for Distributed Scripting M.Ranganathan, Marc Bednarek, Fernand Pors and Doug Montgomery Internetworking Technologies Group National Institute of Standards and Technology ### Abstract We present the design of a AGNI - a Tcl 8.1 based Middleware for building reactive, extensible, reconfigurable distributed systems, based upon an abstraction we call Mobile Streams. Using our system, a distributed, event-driven application can be scripted from a single point of control and dynamically extended and re-configured while it is in execution. Our system is suitable for building a wide variety of applications; for example, distributed test, conferencing and control-oriented applications. We illustrate the use of our system by presenting example applications. USENIX Members may view the full text of this paper in HTML form, PDF form, and PostScript form.
