Title
Programming the Mobility Behaviour of Agents by Composing Itineraries
Abstract
We present an algebra for programming the itineraries of mobile agents. The algebra contains operators for modelling sequential, parallel, nondeterministic, and conditional mobility behaviour. Iterative behaviour is also modelled by a language of regular itineraries borrowing ideas from regular expressions. We give an operational semantics for the operators using Plotkin-style transition rules and provide examples of itineraries for meeting scheduling, sales order processing, and network modelling.
