The space and motion of communicating agents Verlagsinfo: The world is increasingly populated with interactive agents distributed in space real or abstract. These agents can be artificial as in computing systems that manage and monitor traffic or health; or they can be natural e.g. communicating humans or biological cells. It is important to be able to model networks of agents in order to understand and optimise their behaviour. Robin Milner describes in this book just such a model by presenting a unified and rigorous structural theory based on bigraphs for systems of interacting agents. This theory is a bridge between the existing theories of concurrent processes and the aspirations for ubiquitous systems whose enormous size challenges our understanding. The book is reasonably self contained mathematically and is designed to be learned from: examples and exercises abound solutions for the latter are provided. Like Milners other work this is destined to have far reaching and profound significance.
