The process of compiling an X-Klaim program
X-Klaim
a programming language for object-oriented mobile code

Version 2 available
X-Klaim is a programming language for distributed application with mobile code; you can exchange data and processes. You can program mobile agents to retrieve information on the net. X-Klaim supports strong mobility and object-oriented mobile code (structured via mixin inheritance, according to the philosophy of MoMi).
X-Klaim is based on a Client-Server architecture described in the paper:

It provides strong mobility (i.e., agents have the ability to perform a migration to a remote site and resume their execution there), implemented according to the technique described in the paper:

Moreover it supports mobile object-oriented code mobility, structured via mixins, following the approach of the MoMi calculus:

Access number
X-Klaim and Klava were originally implemented by Lorenzo Bettini in his Master Thesis in Computer Science (April 98): "Progetto e realizzazione di un linguaggio di programmazione per codice mobile" (Design and implementation of a programming language for mobile code). This software has been further extended in his PhD Thesis (Feb. 2003) "Linguistic Constructs for Object-Oriented Mobile Code Programming & their Implementations" Both documents are available in gzipped Poscript, or you can request them directly to .
