Safe Ambients (SA) are a variant of the Ambient Calculus (AC) in which types can be used to avoid certain forms of interferences among processes called grave interferences.An abstract machine, called GcPan, for a distributed implementation of typed SA is presented and studied. Our machine improves over previous proposals for executing AC, or variants of it, mainly through a better management of special agents (the forwarders), created upon code migration to transmit messages to the target location of the migration. Well-known methods (such as reference counting and union-find) are applied in order to garbage collect forwarders, thus avoiding long – possibly distributed – chains of forwarders, as well as avoiding useless persistent forwarders.We present the proof of correctness of GcPan w.r.t. typed SA processes. We describe a distributed implementation of the abstract machine in OCaml.More broadly, this study is a contribution towards understanding issues of correctness and optimisations in implementations of distributed languages encompassing mobility.
