Implementing Mobile and Distributed Applications in X-Klaim

Abstract

In this paper we present X-Klaim, an experimental programming language specifically designed to program distributed systems composed of several components interacting through multiple distributed tuple spaces and mobile code. The language consists of a set of coordination primitives inspired by Linda, a set of operators for building processes borrowed from process algebras and a few classical constructs for sequential programming. We present some programming examples in X-Klaim, dealing with mobile code programming paradigms, such as client-server, code mobility and mobile agents.
