Abstract:
We present a language, MEADOW, for specifying dynamic networks from a structural viewpoint. We demonstrate MEADOW in three examples addressing dynamic reconfiguration in the setting of object-oriented networks, ad hoc networks and mobile code networks. MEADOW is more expressive than any language of this kind (e.g. SDL-2000 agent diagrams, composite structures in UML 2.0) that we are aware of, but maintains, in our opinion, the simplicity and elegance of these languages.
