Ten Myths of Apple's iPad: 10. It needs Mac OS X

Blackboard, anybody?

Does anybody know anybody who works or worked on distributed blackboard communications architectures?

I have a real-time, high-data-rate, distributed multi-agent system that needs a stable communications infrastructure. I have a strong hunch that a BB would fit the bill... but I don't want to re-invent the wheel, and it seems that my Google and literature searches focus on the wrong keywords.

So I am looking for a solution, preferable an open-source toolkit, that implements such a blackboard.
Any idea, anybody?

SPIE-MI 2010, San Diego, II

Loved, loved, loved the place.

What a year of Baltimore can do.
