Multiple tuple spaces have been envisioned for Linda since the system's first comprehensive description; they are intended for two purposes. First, by allowing tuples to be organized into a hierarchy of separate spaces, they should make it possible to construct large Linda programs out of modules, to realize Linda's long–standing potential to be a model for persistent storage, to enforce separation between the system and users in a Linda–based operating system, and to support abstraction. Second, if we allow tuple spaces to be included among the fields of ordinary tuples, the Linda tuple–manipulation operators will allow us to operate not only on single data objects but on whole computations
