I'm looking for references for (or pointers to code) a system called 'Linda'. It's apparently an emerging standard for a model of parallel computation that has been used to hook multiple backend servers to a frontend application. Can anyone help?

There was a recent IEEE Computer article on this, and I think it was even hyped in the Sci. American about 2 months ago.
