  abstract=      "Some message-passing concurrent systems, such as occam 2,
     prohibit
aliasing of data objects.  Communicated data must
     thus be copied,
which can be time-intensive for large data
     packets such as video
frames.  We introduce automatic
     mobility, a compiler optimisation that
performs
     communications by reference and deduces when
     these
communications can be performed without copying.  We
     discuss bounds
for speed-up and memory use, and benchmark
     the automatic mobility
optimisation.  We show that in the
     best case it can transform an
operation from being linear
     with respect to packet size into
constant-time."
