Abstract :
Mobile agents are processes which can migrate and execute on new hosts. Mobility is a key concept for network programming; it has stimulated much research about new programming languages and paradigms. X-KLAIM is an experimental programming language, inspired by the Linda paradigm, where mobile agents and their interaction strategies can be naturally programmed. A prototype implementation of X-KLAIM is presented, together with a few examples introducing the new programming style
