Abstract
The mobile form of distributed computation, called mobile computation, is investigated from the viewpoints of computational model, programming language and implementation. The emphasis of this thesis compared with the related work is on analyzing existing mobile language systems from a rather implementational point of view. The contribution of this thesis is threefold. (1) We present a computational model in which dynamic transference of code, data and execution state can be represented. Several mobility mechanisms in existing mobile language systems are analyzed in the model. (2) Based on the analysis, a programming language for mobile computation is designed. The distinctive feature of the language is the facility to control the transparency of migration. (3) An implementation of the mobile programming language is presented. The language is implemented as an extension of the Java language. The implementation is so portable that the program runs on any standard Java inte...
