摘 要: | At present,mobile computing is widely considered as a new computing paradigm supported by advanced computational technologies.One of main characteristics of this paradigm is the ability to dynamically change the binding for hardware and/or software components,that is mobility. Although there are many languages appeared to announce supporting mobile computing,the requirements and features of this paradigm are still scarcely recognized.So a lot of research is being expanded on formal models and methods for mobile computing. In this paper,we analyze a temporal logic based formalism for mobile computing——Mobile Unity. At first,we summarize the features of mobile computing,and generalize that mobile systems should be decoupled,strongly-autonomous,context-dependent and owning new requirements for location-transparency.Then we introduce Mobile Unity,its extensions for U NITY from syntax to computational semantics,specially analyze the correspondence between the language structures of Mobile Unity and the abstraction of mobile features,such as location,mobility,transient interactions etc.At the end,we conclude its some deficiency for supporting mobile computing.
