The coordination between agents will be vital for ensuring the success of their interactions in open and dynamic distributed systems. Tuplespace offers a coordination model for communication between autonomous entities. However, in a heterogeneous environment, agents must be able to exchange information with some assurance that they have a common meaning, this can pose some limitations. In this paper we introduce semantic tuplespaces (STS) based on a combination of semantic Web technologies and tuplespace computing. It acts as a middleware to enable communication and coordination based on the principle of publish and retrieve of semantic information.
