ABSTRACT
We introduce Moana, an information-centric middleware service for distributed applications. Moana offers a shared persistent graph-based abstraction through which applications can communicate with each other by extending and observing the shared graph. This paper describes the Moana service model as well as discusses the design goals and challenges for such a middleware to be a viable and competitive alternative to current practice.
