And for a slightly more modern take on the tuple space, check out Java Spaces [1] or Gigaspaces [2]. There's still plenty of active research on the topic too [3] (disclaimer: I did my PhD thesis on distributed tuple spaces).

I've long contended that a tuple space was basically a generalised key-value store, so it's nice to see projects like this one crop up.
