A path in an edge colored graph is said to be a rainbow path if every edge in this path is colored with the same color. The rainbow connection number of G, denoted by rc(G), is the smallest number of colors needed to color its edges, so that every pair of its vertices is connected by at least one rainbow path. A rainbow u − v geodesic in G is a rainbow path of length d(u, v), where d(u, v) is t...

Sun's announcement of the programming language Java more than anything popularized the notion of mobile code, that is, programs travelling on a heterogeneous network and automatically executes upon arrival at the destination. We describe several classes of mobile code and we extract their common characteristics, where security proves to be one of the major concerns. With these characteristics a...
