Adding Mobility to Networked Channel-Types

This paper reports the specification of a sound concept for the mobility of network-channel-types in KRoC.net. The syntax and semantics of KRoC.net have also been modified in order to integrate it more seamlessly into the occam-pi language. These new features are currently in the process of being implemented. Recent developments in occam-pi and KRoC (such as live/dead channel-type-ends and mobile processes) are described, together with their impact on KRoC.net. This paper gives an overview of the recent developments in KRoC.net, and presents its proposed final semantics, as well as the proposed interface between the KRoC.net infrastructure and the KRoC compiler.
