The rise of mobile computing platforms has given rise to a new class of applications: mobile applications that interact with peer applications running on neighbouring phones. Developing such applications is challenging because of problems inherent to concurrent and distributed programming, and because of problems inherent to mobile networks, such as the fact that wireless network connectivity is often intermittent, and the lack of centralized infrastructure to coordinate the peers.We present AmbientTalk, a distributed programming language designed specifically to develop mobile peer-to-peer applications. AmbientTalk aims to make it easy to develop mobile applications that are resilient to network failures by design. We describe the language's concurrency and distribution model in detail, as it lies at the heart of AmbientTalk's support for responsive, resilient application development. The model is based on communicating event loops, itself a descendant of the actor model. We contribute a small-step operational semantics for this model and use it to establish data race and deadlock freedom.

“…In concurrent object-oriented programming languages, futures have been a recurring language abstraction to reconcile asynchronous message passing with return values (e.g. future-type message passing in ABCL [15] or promises in Argus [16] and E [17]). A future is essentially a handle for the result of an asynchronous message send.…”

“…Rather than employing a multithreaded concurrency model, AmbientTalk's model is founded on the actor model of computation [20] and its many incarnations in languages such as Act1 [21], ABCL [15] and Actalk [22]. However, AmbientTalk's closest relative is the E programming language [17] (further described in Section 9.2).…”

“…They serve as an essential synchronisation tool when asynchronous message passing semantics are introduced. The use of futures as return values from asynchronous message sends can be traced back to actor-based languages such as ABCL [18]. In Argus, futures were further extended to support pipelined message sends [24].…”

Abstract-In this paper, we describe AmbientTalk: a domainspecific language for orchestrating service discovery and composition in mobile ad hoc networks. AmbientTalk is a distributed object-oriented programming language whose actor-based, eventdriven concurrency model makes it highly suitable for composing service objects across a mobile network. The language is a so-called ambient-oriented programming language which treats network partitions as a normal mode of operation. We describe AmbientTalk's object model, concurrency model and distributed communication model in detail. We also highlight the major influences from other languages and middleware that have shaped AmbientTalk's design.
