Abstract
Mobile software applications have to meet new requirements directly arising from mobility issues. To address these requirements at an early stage in development, an architecture description language (ADL) is proposed, which allows to manage issues like availability requirements, mobile code, security, and replication processes. Aspects of this ADL, Con Moto, are exemplified with a case study from the insurance sector.
