Distributed systems are fast becoming the norm in computer science.
Formal mathematical models and theories of distributed behaviour
are needed in order to understand them. This book proposes a
distributed pi-calculus called Dpi, for describing the behaviour of
mobile agents in a distributed world. It is based on an existing
formal language, the pi-calculus, to which it adds a network layer
and a primitive migration construct. A mathematical theory of the
behaviour of these distributed systems is developed, in which the
presence of types plays a major role. It is also shown how in
principle this theory can be used to develop verification
techniques for guaranteeing the behavior of distributed agents. The
text is accessible to computer scientists with a minimal background
in discrete mathematics. It contains an elementary account of the
pi-calculus, and the associated theory of bisimulations. It also
develops the type theory required by Dpi from first principles.
