I am looking for Ruby crossplatform local and network IPC: messaging, blackboard, etc. It would be great to find a survey of existing projects in this area. Things I am most interested in: 1) Distributed blackboard or any other publish/subscribe mechanism that scales well with new nodes comming into play 2) Messaging system that will allow address messages to thread / process.host Thanks!
