The solos calculus: theory and practice

Résumé
I will present the basics of a project of the University of Bologna, which is the definition and implementation of a distributed programming language based on fusions of names. I start with details about the solos calculus, a calculus in the pi-family where inputs and outputs are continuation-less. Then I describe the solos diagrams, a centralized implementation of the solos calculus with a proof-net flavour. Finally, I discuss the fusion machine, a distributed abstract machine with locations, agent migrations and co-locations, which has been prototyped in JoCAML.
