Abstract

We present a partially-typed semantics for Dp, a distributed p-calculus. The semantics
is designed for mobile agents in open distributed systems in which some sites may harbor
malicious intentions. Nonetheless, the semantics guarantees traditional type-safety properties at
good locations by using a mixture of static and dynamic type-checking. We show how the semantics
can be extended to allow trust between sites, improving performance and expressiveness
without compromising type-safety.
