Abstract

Bigraphs have been introduced with the aim to provide a topographical meta-model for mobile, distributed agents that can manipulate their own linkages and nested locations, generalising both characteristics of the @p-calculus and the Mobile Ambients calculus. We give the first bigraphical presentation of a non-linear, higher-order process calculus with nested locations, non-linear active process mobility, and local names, the calculus of Higher-Order Mobile Embedded Resources (Homer). The presentation is based on Milner's recent presentation of the @l-calculus in local bigraphs. The combination of non-linear active process mobility and local names requires a new definition of parametric reaction rules and a representation of the location of names. We suggest localised bigraphs as a generalisation of local bigraphs in which links can be further localised.
