We present a process algebra called TiMo in which timeouts of interactions and adaptable migrations in a distributed environment with explicit locations can be specified. Timing constraints allow to control the communication between co-located mobile processes, and a migration action with variable destination supports flexible movement from one location to another. The model of time is based on local clocks rather than a global clock. We provide a structural translation of TiMo into behaviourally equivalent high level timed Petri nets. As a result, we obtain a formal net semantics for timed interaction and migration which is both structural and allows one to deal directly with concurrency and causality.
