Lecture notes on Bigraphs : a Model for Mobile Agents

These notes are designed to be read in conjunction with the slides for six Lec tures on bigraphs, with the above title. They aim to be useful for people teaching the subject to the mselves or to others. The notes are numbered compatibly with the slides. The Lectures are based on my book The Space and Motion of Communicating Agents , to be published by Cambridge University Press early in 2009 . They treat the topics in a different order, dictated by intuitions. The slides and notes can be studied without the b ook, but contain copious references to it (in footnotes, in order not to break the flow).
