A calculus for ``environment-aware'' computation

In F-WAN '02, volume 66.3 of ENTCS Elsevier, 2002


We present a calculus for modelling ``environment-aware'' computations, that is computations that adapt their behaviour according to the capabilities of the environment. The calculus is an imperative, object-based language with extensible objects, equipped with a labelled transition semantics. A notion of bisimulation, lifting to computations a correspondence between the capabilities of different environments, is provided. Bisimulation can be used to prove that a program is ``cross-environment'', i.e., it has the same behaviour when run in different environments.
