We take the position that large-scale distributed systems are better understood, at all levels, when locality is taken into account. When communication and mobility are clearly se...
To share resources in open distributed systems we have developed autonomous mobile programs, which periodically use a cost model to decide where to execute in a network. In additi...
This paper describes a novel method of achieving load balancing in telecommunications networks. A simulated network models a typical distribution of calls between arbitrary nodes;...
The Intelligent Decentralised Energy-Aware Systems (iDEaS) project at the University of Southampton (see www.ideasproject.info) is developing and demonstrating the application of ...

This paper addresses the design and verification of infrastructure for mobile computation. In particular, we study language primitives for communication between mobile agents. The...
