Abstract

We study type-safety properties of open distributed systems of mobile agents, where not all sites are known to be well-typed. We adopt the underlying model of an anonymous network, allowing that code may be corrupted on transmission and that the source of incoming code is unknowable. Nonetheless, we are able to guarantee a weak form of type-safety at "good" sites using a mix of static and dynamic typing.
