ActiveSpaces applications are programs that use ActiveSpaces software to work collaboratively over a shared data grid. The data grid comprises one or more tuple spaces.
An ActiveSpaces distributed application system is a set of ActiveSpaces programs that cooperate to fulfill a mission (either using the administrative CLI tool or the ActiveSpaces API calls). Tuples are distributed, rather than “partitioned” across seeders (members that are configured to contribute memory and processing resources to a space).
