A Mobile Agent Service-Oriented Scripting Language Encoded on a Process Calculus

摘要

We present a service-oriented scripting language for programming mobile agents in distributed systems. The main novelty of the language we call Mob, is the integration of the service-oriented and mobile agent paradigms. Mob is also encoded onto a process calculus with a well studied semantics. The encoding provides a specification for the front-end of the language compiler and allows us to use, for the back-end and for the run-time system, a compiler and a virtual machine previously developed for the process calculus.
