Abstract

Distributed sequential computing (DSC) is computing with distributed data using a single locus of computation. In this paper we argue that computation mobility--the ability for the locus of computation to migrate across distributed memories and continue the computation as it meets the required data--facilitated by mobile agents with strong mobility is essential for scalable distributed sequential programs that preserve the integrity of the original algorithm.
