Abstract
Implementing code mobility is a difficult task, especially when migration is under some time constraints. In this paper we present a language for mobile agents starting from an architecture and a formalism with timed interactions and explicit locations. The language supports the specification of a distributed system, i.e. agents and their physical distribution, and allows a timed migration in a distributed environment.
