This paper briefly presents the design rationale for Mobidget, an agent-based distributed programming language, intended for highly-mobile applications. Mobidget provides two abstractions to foster mobility in heterogeneous computing environments: agents serve as distributed protection domains, and cliques act as the basic unit of mobility. Migration does not impact the semantics for intra-agent references, which are completely transparent to the programmer even though an agent's contents may be physically distributed.
Index Terms:
Java, languages, mobility, distribution, remote references, protection domain
